6. Reinstall the controller module lid by aligning the pins on the lid with the slots on the motherboard carrier,

Step 3: Transfer the boot image to the boot media
You can install the system image to the replacement boot media using a USB flash drive
with the image installed on it. However, you must restore the var file system during this
procedure.
Before you begin
• You must have a USB flash drive, formatted to FAT32, with at least 4GB capacity.
• A copy of the same image version of ONTAP as what the impaired controller was running. You can
download the appropriate image from the Downloads section on the NetApp Support Site
◦
If NVE is enabled, download the image with NetApp Volume Encryption, as indicated in the download
button.
◦
If NVE is not enabled, download the image without NetApp Volume Encryption, as indicated in the
download button.
• If your system is a stand-alone system you do not need a network connection, but you must perform an
additional reboot when restoring the var file system.
Steps
1. Align the end of the controller module with the opening in the chassis, and then gently push the controller
module halfway into the system.
2. Recable the controller module, as needed.
3. Insert the USB flash drive into the USB slot on the controller module.
Make sure that you install the USB flash drive in the slot labeled for USB devices, and not in the USB

flash drive, firmly push the cam handle to finish seating the controller module, and then push the cam
