If you have a differential wide SCSI adapter for external tape devices installed in expansion slot 6, and if you are setting up a maximum cluster configuration, you need to move the adapter to expansion slot 2 or 4. This is to accommodate the installation of an FC-AL adapter in expansion slot 6.
If you have a 64-bit FC-AL adapter installed in expansion slot 8, and if you are setting up a cluster configuration, you need to remove the adapter. This is to accommodate the installation of the cluster interconnect adapter in expansion slot 8. Refer to "Installing an FC-AL adapter" for the installation of the 32-bit adapter.
To remove existing expansion adapters, follow these steps.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 |
Shut down the filer and turn off power to the filer.
Caution: Always use the halt command to perform a clean shutdown. |
| 2 | Turn off the power to the disk shelves. |
| 3 | Unplug the AC power cord from the filer or appliance power supplies. |
| 4 |
Note which cables are connected to the ports on the faceplate of the expansion adapter before disconnecting the cables.
Caution: Do not disconnect cables while the filer is powered up. You could cause permanent damage to the adapters in the filer or appliance. |
| 5 | Put on the antistatic wrist strap and attach the grounding leash to an acceptable grounding unit. |
| 6 |
For an F630Remove the screw holding the SCSI adapter faceplate to the back panel bracket and save it for reinstalling the adapter in expansion slot 2 or 4.For an F700Remove the screw holding the 64-bit FC-AL adapter faceplate to the back panel bracket and save it for installing the cluster interconnect adapter. |
| 7 |
Pull upward on the top edge of the expansion adapter and lift it out of the chassis, as shown.
|
| 8 | Place the adapter on an antistatic surface. |
| 9 |
For an F630Proceed to the next section if you are reinstalling your SCSI adapter for the tape drive in slot 2 or 4.For an F700Proceed to Chapter 2, "Hardware Upgrade Process," for the hardware upgrades. |
To install a SCSI adapter for external tape devices, follow these steps.
?| Step | Action |
| 1 | Holding the SCSI adapter by its top edge, with the faceplate near your left hand, lower the adapter into the assigned expansion slot until its connector edge meets the grooves in the expansion slot, as shown in the figure. The faceplate of the adapter should be in position against the back panel, and should cover the endplate slot on the back panel. |
| 2 | Press carefully on the top edge of the adapter until the edge connector is seated in the expansion slot. |
| 3 | Replace the faceplate screw to secure the adapter to the back panel. |
| 4 | Reconnect the cables to the external connectors on the replacement expansion adapter. |
| 5 |
Push in the system board or printed circuit board carrier and tighten the thumbscrews on the back panel. |
| 6 | Plug the AC power cord into the AC power cord receptacle on the power supply. |
| 7 | Turn on the filer and disk shelves. |
