Installing a New IOP
Caution: Before proceeding, make sure you are properly grounded using, for instance, a
wrist strap with an attached alligator clip that is connected to an appropriate
ground
.
After preparing the new IOP, finish installing the new IOP:
Step Action Notes
1 Install any hardware for your IOP using the
procedures in Chapter 2 of the
HP
NetServer AA Solution Installation Guide.
Warning: If you removed the Ethernet adapter that
provides network access from the IOP
that you are replacing, do not use it in
any other network device other than the
new IOP.
2 Decide which, if any, disks will be
transferred to the new IOP.
When you install those disks, make sure that their
new configuration is identical to the configuration
that was used in the IOP that you are replacing.
3 If you are installing and replacing existing
mirrored disks with new disks:
• Make sure that the new disk’s
configuration is identical to its mirror
counterpart on the other IOP.
• Make sure that the new disk’s
configuration is identical to the disk that
you are replacing (including the same
SCSI bus number and device ID).
You can replace a disk that is larger than its
counterpart in the other IOP. However, you will not
be able to use all of its capacity.
