Failed adapters

Ground yourself using an antistatic wrist strap.

Take over the node that has the adapter you want to replace by entering the following command from its partner's console:

cf takeover

Result:

The node takes over the partner node. You see a message similar to the following:

takeover completed

Turn off the power to the target node, then unplug it from the power source.

Remove the appropriate cabling to the adapter, then remove the adapter, as described in the Hardware and Service Guide.

Go to Installing an adapter.

While grounded, install the new adapter, as described in the Hardware and Service Guide.

Close the node and reconnect the appropriate cables to the adapter.

Plug the node back into the power source, and then apply power.

After the node boots and is at the `Waiting for Giveback' prompt, run giveback by entering the following command on the local node's console:

cf giveback

Result:

The partner node reboots and functions normally. A successful giveback ends with the following message on the local node:
