X91148A module
Overview of adding an X91148A module - AFF A9000
You can add an I/O module to your system by either replacing a NIC or storage adapter
with a new one in a fully-populated system, or by adding a new NIC or storage adapter
into an empty chassis slot in your system.
Before you begin
• Check the
NetApp Hardware Universe to make sure that the new I/O module is compatible with your
system and version of ONTAP you’re running.
• If multiple slots are available, check the slot priorities in NetApp Hardware Universe and use the best one
available for your I/O module.
• To non-disruptively add an I/O module, you must takeover the target controller, remove the slot blanking
cover in the target slot or remove an existing I/O module, add the new or replacement I/O module, and then
giveback the target controller.
• Make sure that all other components are functioning properly.
Add an X91148A module in an AFF A700 with open slots - AFF A700 and FAS9000
You can add an X91148A module into an empty module slot in your system as either a
100GbE NIC or a storage module for the NS224 storage shelves.
• Your system must be running ONTAP 9.8 and later.
• To non-disruptively add the X91148A module, you must takeover the target controller, remove the slot
blanking cover in the target slot, add the module, and then giveback the target controller.
• There must be one or more open slots available on your system.
• If multiple slots are available, install the module according to the slot priority matrix for the X91148A module
in the Hardware Universe.
NetApp Hardware Universe
• If you are adding the X91148A module as a storage module, you must install the module slots 3 and/or 7.
• If you are adding the X91148A module as a 100GbE NIC, you can use any open slot. However, by default,
slots 3 and 7 are set as storage slots. If you wish to use those slots as network slots and will not add
NS224 shelves, you must modify the slots for networking use with the
storage port modify -node
node name -port port name -mode network
command. See the Hardware Universe for other slots
that can be used by the X91148A module for networking.

• All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, you must contact technical support.
