c. Rotate the locking latches upward, tilting them so that they clear the locking pins, and then lower them
into the locked position.
7. If your system is configured to support 10 GbE cluster interconnect and data connections on 40 GbE NICs
or onboard ports, convert these ports to 10 GbE connections by using the nicadmin convert command from
Maintenance mode.
Be sure to exit Maintenance mode after completing the conversion.
8.
Return the node to normal operation by giving back its storage:
storage failover giveback
-ofnode impaired_node_name
9.
If automatic giveback was disabled, reenable it:
storage failover modify -node local -auto
-giveback true
Return the failed part to NetApp
After you replace the part, you can return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the

Replace the NVRAM module and/or NVRAM DIMMs - AFF A700s
To replace a failed NVRAM card, you must remove the NVRAM riser, Riser 1, from the
controller module, remove the failed card from the riser, install the new NVRAM card in
the riser, and then reinstall the riser in the controller module. Because the system ID is
derived from the NVRAM card, if replacing the module, disks belonging to the system are
reassigned to the new system ID.
Before you begin
• All disk shelves must be working properly.
• If your system is in an HA pair, the partner node must be able to take over the node associated with the
NVRAM module that is being replaced.
• This procedure uses the following terminology:
â—¦ The impaired node is the node on which you are performing maintenance.
â—¦ The healthy node is the HA partner of the impaired node.
• This procedure includes steps for automatically or manually reassigning disks to the controller module
associated with the new NVRAM module. You must reassign the disks when directed to in the procedure.
Completing the disk reassignment before giveback can cause issues.
• You must replace the failed component with a replacement FRU component you received from your
provider.
• You cannot change any disks or disk shelves as part of this procedure.
