MSA P2000 G3 MSA Compact Flash Card Replacement Instructions

Replacing Compact Flash cards

1. Carefully remove the CompactFlash from the

controller, label it Failed, and set it aside.

2. Insert the new CompactFlash card into the controller.

Re-inserting the controller

1. With the latches in the open position, slide the

module into the enclosure as far as it will go (1). If

necessary, press firmly on the top-center of the

module to facilitate insertion.

2. Rotate the latches upward to engage the module

with the internal connector (2) and turn the

thumbscrews finger-tight (3).

3. Reconnect the cables.

After installing a controller in an operational,

dual-controller system, the new controller

automatically begins initializing.

4. In operational systems, if additional hardware

components, such as a CompactFlash Card in the

other controller, need replacing or installing, wait

10 minutes before proceeding with those

procedures. This time frame ensures that the

controller(s) and their ownership of vdisks are fully

stabilized.

Verifying proper operation

Examine module status as shown in Table 1.

If the replacement controller does not boot up as

expected, or if the Fault/Service Required LED is amber,

the module is not online. Check the event log for errors,

and then restart the controller to put the module online.

To restart a controller, do the following:

1. Select the system in the Configuration View panel

and then select Tools > Shut Down or Restart

Controller.

2. Set the following options and then click OK:

• Operation—Restart

• Controller Type—Storage

• Controller—A or B

Returning failed items

In materials shipped with the replacement, HP specifies

whether the failed component must be returned. Follow

the provided instructions.
