Note: You do not need to remove any other expansion cards from
the failed Node. All other required expansion cards are pre-
installed in the replacement Node.
Installing a Replacement Node
To install the replacement DXi6900 G1 Node:
1 Install the hard drives from the failed Node in the correct locations
in the replacement Node (see
Replacing a Node Hard Drive on
page 90).
Caution: You must install each hard drive in its correct location.
If the hard drive locations are not correct, the system
will not function.
2 If applicable, install the optional dual port 10 GbE card (along with
any associated SFPs) or optional quad port 1 GbE card in PCIe slot 2
in the replacement Node (see
Replacing an Expansion Card in Riser 1
on page 118).
3 Install the replacement Node in the rack (see Opening and Closing
the Node).
4 Turn on the system (see Turning On and Shutting Down the System
on page 23).
5 If Data-at-Rest Encryption is enabled, configure the PERC H710
integrated storage controller for encryption (see
Enabling Data-at-
Rest Encryption on a Replacement Integrated Storage Controller on
page 139).
6 Run Factory Detect Hardware from the Service Menu to detect the
new hardware (see
Factory Detect Hardware on page 44).
7 Install the original system serial number on the new Node:
Note: The system serial number is located on the label holder
affixed to the upper right corner of the rear of the Node.
The system serial number includes the letters BVT.
