◦ The green Host Link LEDs remain off until you connect the host cables.
The figure shows an example controller canister. Your controller might have a different
number and a different type of host ports.
(1) Host Link LED (amber)
(2) Attention LED (amber)
(3) Seven-segment display
3. From SANtricity System Manager, confirm that the controller’s status is Optimal.
If the status is not Optimal or if any of the Attention LEDs are on, confirm that all cables are correctly
seated, and check that the HIC and the controller canister are installed correctly. If necessary, remove and
reinstall the controller canister and the HIC.
If you cannot resolve the problem, contact technical support.
4. If the new HIC ports require SFP+ transceivers, install these SFPs.
5. Connect the cables from the controller’s host ports to the data hosts.
What’s next?
The process of upgrading a host interface card in your storage array is complete. You can resume normal
operations.
Replace E5700 host interface card (HIC)
You can replace a host interface card (HIC) that has failed.
About this task
When you replace a HIC, you place the controller offline (for duplex configurations), remove the controller
canister, install the new HIC, and then replace the controller canister.
Before you begin
• Review
Requirements for E5700 HIC replacement.
• Schedule a downtime maintenance window for this procedure. The power must be off when you install
HICs, so you cannot access data on the storage array until you have successfully completed this
procedure. (In a duplex configuration, both controllers must have the same HIC configuration when they
