HP NonStop G-Series - Manual (Page 129)

Flash Firmware Update
Updates the operational firmware in Flash memory of the FCSA.
NOTE: This firmware is not used on NonStop S-series systems, as system load through an FCSA is not supported
on S-series.
Replace
Launches an interactive action to assist with replacement of an FCSA.
Note: This replacement procedure is intended for authorized service providers only.
When initiated, OSM checks for any connected paths that do not have a backup and warns you of any connectivity
loss that could result from continuing with the action. OSM also directs you to the online help for precautionary guidelines
for handling the hardware. See:
•
Removing the FCSA
•
Installing the Replacement FCSA
Once you confirm that the FCSA has been replaced, OSM presents these options for bringing up the paths associated
with this adapter:
•
Bring up and balance. This option makes the -P (primary) and -M (mirror) paths active.
•
Bring up only. This option starts the path only if the other path is already up.
•
Leave down.
Responsive Test
Verifies that the FCSA is connected and responding.
Test Verify
Verifies basic functionality of the FCSA.
Removing and Installing a Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter
Removing the FCSA
NOTE: Whenever you handle a FCSA, follow standard operating practices to avoid damage to the equipment. Review
the standard operating practices documented in the Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support Guide.
1. Find the group, module, and slot of the IOAM in which the FCSA is installed.
2. Tag the Fibre Channel cables connected to the FCSA with physical labels, preferably at both cable ends. The
labels should include:
•
A description of the equipment and connector to which the cables are to be connected
•
The slot location of the FCSA to which the cable is connected
3. Disconnect the Fibre Channel cables one at a time by squeezing the plastic retaining clip at the end of the cable
and gently pulling.
4. Protect the equipment from electrostatic discharge:
a.
Place an antistatic table mat on a flat horizontal work surface near the IOAM enclosure.
b. Put on an ESD wrist strap.
c. Attach the grounding clip from the ESD wrist strap to any unpainted metal surface on the IOAM enclosure
or on the rack in which the enclosure is installed.
CAUTION: Do not attach the ESD grounding clip to doors or to any painted surface.
5. Press down on the ejector to unseat the adapter. The adapter must be pulled at least two inches out of its slot
to be unseated. If the adapter is not unseated far enough, a long connector pin in the midplane can still be
engaged with the FCSA. This will make some software behave as though the FCSA is still in its slot but is broken.
6. Grasp the FCSA by its ejector in one hand and slowly pull the FCSA part way out of the slot.
7. Grasp the FCSA by its handle while supporting the bottom edge of the FCSA with the other hand and pull the
FCSA the rest of the way out of the slot.
NOTE: The FCSA weighs approximately 7.25 pounds (3 kilograms).
8. Place the FCSA on the antistatic mat.
