HP P6300/P6500 EVA iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE Controller Replacement Instructions (5697-2514, March 2013)

Installing a controller
1. Press each DIMM from the removed controller into
the same DIMM socket on the replacement
controller (1, Figure 7 (page 5)).

2. Press the retaining clips inward to lock each
DIMM into the socket (2, Figure 7 (page 5)).
3. Place the cover on the controller module rails and
slide the cover over the controller until the latch
clicks in place.

4. Move the small form-factor pluggable (SFP)
modules from the controller being replaced to the
new controller.
5. Push the controller halfway into the controller
enclosure (1, Figure 9 (page 5)).
6. Attach the cables to the two controller device ports
(DP–A and DP–B).
NOTE: Inserting a controller without
connecting the device port cables may
result in soft diagnostic errors being
reported.
7. Fully insert the controller. Move the mounting latch
to the left until fully engaged and the controller is
fully seated in the enclosure (2). The controller
should power up automatically. Tighten the
controller latch thumbscrew.

8. Attach the FP3 and FP4 Fibre Channel cables or
loopback connectors for unused ports. If installing
loopback connectors, the host port must be
configured in direct connect mode or NL port
mode.
Do not attach the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE data
cables yet. Wait and verify that the controller has
successfully booted before continuing to the next
step.
9. Begin restoring the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module
configuration by performing the following steps:
a. Use the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE module serial
ports and CLI (as was done when installing
the array) to set the static IP addresses,
network mask, and gateway address of the
management ports used by the replaced
controller. Then install the iSCSI or
iSCSI/FCoE management telnet port cable,
and continue with the HP P6000 Command
View procedure in Step 10.
b. If an IP address was assigned by DHCP and
you plan to continue using the DHCP IP
address, make note of this IP address, install
the iSCSI or iSCSI/FCoE management telnet
port cable, and continue with the HP P6000
Command View procedure in Step 10.
