Impact on the System
During the replacement of an expansion module, the system switches services from ports on
this module to ports on the other expansion module in the same disk enclosure. Only one
expansion module is working, causing the system reliability to degrade. You are advised to
replace an expansion module during off-peak hours.
Prerequisites
l
The spare part is ready.
l
The expansion module that you want to replace has been located.
NOTE
You can locate a component in either of the following ways:
l
Locating a component based on alarms in DeviceManager: On the
Alarms and Events
page of
DeviceManager, view the help information and locate the component to be replaced.
l
Locating a component based on the status of its alarm indicator: For details about the indicators on
different components, see indicator introduction in the
Product Description
specific to your product.
l
You have confirmed that the cables of the expansion module to be replaced are properly
connected using Huawei Storage Networking Assistant. For details, see
support.huawei.com/onlinetoolsweb/sna/?language=en
l
The cable connection positions of the expansion module are labeled on the cables.
l
The cables have been disconnected from the expansion module that you want to replace.
NOTE
Before removing a SAS cable, gently push the connector of the cable inward. Then pull the plastic ring
on the connector outward until the cable is completely removed from the expansion module.
Precautions
l
Remove and insert an expansion module with even force. Excessive force may damage
the appearance or connectors of the expansion module.
l
An expansion module must be replaced within five minutes. Otherwise, the system heat
dissipation is compromised.
