10. Replace the optional high-speed SAS-adapter and riser-card assembly, as described in “Replacing the
SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 high-speed SAS adapter assembly” on page 173.
11. Replace the fibre-channel adapter and riser card. See “Replacing the fibre-channel adapter assembly”
on page 168.
12. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and seated correctly and that
you have not left loose tools or parts inside the node. Make sure that all internal cables are correctly
routed. If you disconnected the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables, make sure that each cable is
reconnected to the same port from which it was removed.
13. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the top cover” on page 72.
14. If you removed the node from the rack, replace the node in the rack, as described in “Replacing the
SAN Volume Controller in a rack” on page 48.
15. If you removed any fibre-channel or Ethernet cables, use the labels you placed on each cable to
replace all fibre-channel and Ethernet cables in the same ports from which they were removed.
16. If you removed the power cords, replace the power cords and the cable-retention brackets, as
described in “Replacing the cable-retention bracket” on page 34.
17. Lift the locking levers (1 in Figure 281) on the slide rails and push the server 2 all the way into
the rack until it clicks into place.
18. Turn on the node. Wait for the front panel display to remain stable for at least five minutes before
taking any further action.
v If the repair has been successful and if the node was able to save its state data before shutting
down, the node starts and rejoins the cluster. The front panel displays Cluster: and a cluster
name if the node has rejoined a cluster.
v If the repair has been successful but the node was not able to save its state data before shutting
down, the node displays node error 578. Follow the procedures in "Deleting a node from a cluster"
in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller 2145 Troubleshooting Guide to delete the node from
the cluster and then add it back into the cluster. If more than one node has failed, ensure that the
node is added back into its original I/O group. See "Adding a node to a cluster" in the IBM
System Storage SAN Volume Controller 2145 Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
v If any other message is shown on the front panel, use MAP 5000 to resolve the problem.
Note: It is essential that you perform all the stages of the next step to ensure that the replacement
system is set to the serial number of the original machine. Failure to do this might invalidate the
customer's warranty or service agreement.
19. After you make sure that the node is operating as part of the cluster, perform the following steps to
restore the original machine serial number to the new system board:
