Controller canister Cam handle
5. Using two hands and the cam handle, slide the controller canister out of the shelf.
Attention: Always use two hands to support the weight of a controller canister.
If you are removing the controller canister from an HB5100 controller shelf, a flap swings into place to
block the empty bay, helping to maintain air flow and cooling.
6. Turn the controller canister over, so that the removable cover faces up.
7. Place the controller canister on a flat, static-free surface.
What to do next
Go to Install host interface card.
Install host interface card
You install the host interface card (HIC) to increase the number of host ports in your storage array.
Before you begin
• You have an ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.
• You have a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
• You have one or two HICs, based on whether you have one or two controllers in your storage array. The HICs
must be compatible with your controllers.
About this task
Attention: Possible loss of data access – Never install a HIC in an HB5000 controller canister if that
HIC was designed for another ETERNUS AB/HB Series controller. In addition, if you have a duplex
configuration, both controllers and both HICs must be identical. The presence of incompatible or
mismatched HICs will cause the controllers to lock down when you apply power.
Procedure
1. Unpack the new HIC and the new HIC faceplate.
2. Press the button on the cover of the controller canister, and slide the cover off.
3. Confirm that the green LED inside the controller (by the DIMMs) is off.
