After conguring the ports, they can be used to connect enclosures.
Prerequisites
• Supports only CT-SC040, SC8000, or SC9000 controllers.
• Back-end ports have not been previously congured during Storage Center conguration.
• An enclosure must be connected to the ports.

Managing IO Card Changes
The Congure IO Card Changes wizard simplies the task of moving, replacing, upgrading, or repurposing IO cards in Storage Center
controllers. The wizard is used to congure IO card hardware changes on a per-port basis after physical IO card changes have been
made. The wizard is typically used when upgrading IO cards or
controllers.
For each local port, you can specify:
• Whether to link an IO card to an existing conguration
• Whether the IO card is new hardware
• Whether to delete the conguration for a removed IO card
The wizard guides you through the following actions:
• Associating IO cards with existing port congurations
• Indicating which IO cards are new hardware
• Deleting congurations for IO cards that have been removed
Before using the wizard, you should be aware of the following:
• Changes should be performed by a certied installer or with the assistance of Dell Technical Support.
• At least one back-end port must remain in its original location.
• A controller restart is required to implement changes.
• Do not rebalance any ports until controller(s) have been replaced and all hardware conguration changes are complete.
