Add the new 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 two HICs that are compatible with your controllers.
About this task
Attention: Possible loss of data access – Never install a
HIC in an EF600 controller canister if that HIC was
designed for another E-Series controller. In addition,
both controllers and both HICs must be identical. The
presence of incompatible or mismatched HICs causes the
controllers to lock down when you apply power.
Steps
1. Remove the controller canister's cover by unscrewing the single thumbscrew and lifting the lid
open.
2. Confirm that the green LED inside the controller is off.
If this green LED is on, the controller is still using battery power. You must wait for this LED
to go off before removing any components.
3. Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws that attach the HIC faceplate to the
controller canister, and remove the faceplate.
4. Align the single thumbscrew on the HIC with the corresponding hole on the controller, and
align the connector on the bottom of the HIC with the HIC interface connector on the
controller card.
Be careful not to scratch or bump the components on the bottom of the HIC or on the top of the
controller card.
5. Carefully lower the HIC into place, and seat the HIC connector by pressing gently on the HIC.
