◦ The amber Attention LED on the controller turns on and then turns off, unless there is an error.
◦ 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) Attention LED (amber)
(2) Seven-segment display
(3) Host Link LEDs
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 E2800 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, remove the controller canister, install the new HIC,
replace the controller canister, and then bring the controller online.
Before you begin
• Review
Requirements for E2800 HIC replacement.
• You must 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, this is because both controllers must have the same HIC
