This video covers how to replace an embedded module in a Unity 480/F, 680/F, and 880/F disk processor enclosure (DPE).
This video shows how to replace a faulted embedded module in the Unity systems shown on the screen and in the description below the video. Before you begin: Ensure, that you always wear proper electrostatic discharge or ESD protection when servicing the system.
Place the system into a special mode called ‘Reset and Hold’. In this mode, the SP assembly is powered on but IO modules, embedded modules, and 4-port cards can be safely removed. Place the SP you plan to service into Reset and Hold. When the SP has been placed into Reset and Hold the SP fault LED and power LED are lit solid amber and green respectively, and the ‘Unsafe to remove’ LED is lit on the other SP.
Now you’re ready to replace a faulted embedded module. First, confirm that you have located the faulted embedded module. The embedded module fault LED, near the USB port, should be lit amber if the part is faulted, and off if the part is operating normally. After you’ve confirmed that the part is faulted, label and disconnect any cables that are connected to the embedded module.
Then, push the orange tab to release the lever. Pull the release lever and remove the embedded module from its slot. Next, you need to transfer the 4-port card from the embedded module into the replacement module. Push down on the two blue tabs on the back of the 4-port card to release it. Lift the card straight up off the pegs, and away from the embedded module. Now, you need to install the 4-port card in your replacement embedded module.
Align the new 4-port card into the embedded module so the ports on the front of the 4-port card line up with the slots on the front of the embedded module. Next, align the white pegs with the holes on the 4-port card. Gently push down until the card is fully seated on the pegs. Then, push the blue tabs to lock it into place.
Next, install the replacement embedded module. When the embedded module is fully seated, push the release lever all the way back into the system, until the orange tab locks the lever into place. Then, reconnect the cables you removed earlier. Finally, return to Unisphere and reboot the SP into Normal Mode. It can take up to 15 minutes for the system to reboot. You should also make sure that your embedded module is recognized by the system, and operating correctly from Unisphere.
You’ve just replaced a faulted embedded module. For more information on adding or replacing other components of the Dell EMC Unity system, go to the Dell EMC Unity Technical Documentation page, using the link in the description for this video.
