4 Relocating a GESA
This section describes how to relocate a Gigabit Ethernet ServerNet adapter (GESA)
that has been previously installed in a NonStop S-series system enclosure. A GESA
can be relocated without shutting down the system.
This section includes the following topics:
Caution. If a previously installed GESA and backplane connector have damaged pins, remove
the GESA and install a filler panel (U09021) in the empty slot (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-5).
Attach red tags to the filler panel to identify the slot. Do not move the damaged GESA to a
different, undamaged slot. Both the GESA and backplane (or enclosure) must be replaced. For
backplane replacement, refer to the backplane replacement section of the NonStop S-Series
Service Provider Supplement.
