inoperative and attention is required.
Solid amber indicates that the
controller cannot reboot and that the

Removing a controller
CAUTION: Verify the location of the controller
being serviced. Removing the wrong controller
can result in data loss.
NOTE:
• Replacement controllers do not have DIMM
modules, therefore the DIMMs from the
controller being removed must be
transferred to the replacement controller.
• HP recommends that you replace the
controller while the controller enclosure is
powered on to ensure the controller
software on the redundant controller is
copied to the controller being installed.
