DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
This component is a CRU and can be replaced by anyone.

DELIVERY REQUIREMENT:
This operation requires a complete power outage of the entire machine.
Thus it needs to be planned according to the customer's wishes.

Estimate AP Duration = 0.5 hours

FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

Shut down the server

Backup all data to an external site before adding a REM to server without one.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE

1.- Ensure that your REM has a battery, and that the cable is connected to the REM.

2.- Power off the server and remove the server module from the chassis.

3.- Remove the main cover.

4.- Remove the existing REM board or the cap from the REM connector if either is present.

5.- Slide the REM board at an angle into the support bracket, then press it carefully into the connector.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

When the customer restarts the server, the new controller probes the disks, and downloads information about the array. It then offers a selection to restore the existing array.

1. - After changing the REM board, restart the server module. The startup messages include a message from the RAID controller utility offering to restore the original array.

2. - Accept the option to restore the existing array. The RAID controller utility restores the existing array.

CAUTION - Declining this option could cause you to loose the array configuration and the data
in the array.

3. - Verify that the RAID is back in the customers configuration.

NOTE - Alternatively, if you open the RAID controller utility, it offers a selection to restore
the existing array. Accept the option to restore the existing array.
