The console connection shows that the node drops to the LOADER prompt when the takeover is
complete.
2. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
3. Remove the target slot blanking cover:
a. Depress the lettered and numbered cam button.
b. Rotate the cam latch down until it is in a horizontal position.
c. Remove the blanking cover.
4. Install the X91148A module into slot 3:
a. Align the X91148A module with the edges of the slot.
b. Slide the X91148A module into the slot until the lettered and numbered I/O cam latch begins to engage
with the I/O cam pin.
c. Push the I/O cam latch all the way up to lock the module in place.
d. If you are installing a second X91148A module for storage, repeat this step for the module in slot 7.
5. Reboot controller A:
boot_ontap
6. Giveback the node from the partner node:
storage failover giveback -ofnode
target_node_name
7. Enable automatic giveback if it was disabled:
storage failover modify -node local -auto
-giveback true
8. Repeat these steps for controller B.
9. Install and cable your NS224 shelves, as described in
.
Add an X91148A storage module in a system with no open slots - AFF A700 and FAS9000
You must remove one more or more existing NIC or storage modules in your system in
order to install one or more X91148A storage modules into your fully-populated system.
• Your system must be running ONTAP 9.8 and later.
• To non-disruptively add the X91148A module, you must takeover the target controller, add the module, and
then giveback the target controller.
• If you are adding the X91148A module as a storage adapter, you must install the module in slots 3 and/or
7.
• If you are adding the X91148A module as a 100GbE NIC, you can use any open slot. However, by default,
slots 3 and 7 are set as storage slots. If you wish to use those slots as network slots and will not add
NS224 shelves, you must modify the slots for networking use with the
storage port modify -node
node name
-port
port name
-mode network
command for each port. See the Hardware Universe
for other slots that can be used by the X91148A module for networking.
• All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact technical support.
