VERITAS 16Gb FC SFP Manual

Replacing a 16Gb Fibre Channel SFP optic module: Veritas
appliances
Document Number: 211
Version: 1.3 (05/04/2020)
Purpose
This document describes the process for replacing the 16Gb FC SFP optic transceiver modules
located on the rear of a Veritas appliance.
Affected appliance models
• 5240 Appliance
• 5250 Appliance
• 5340/5340 HA Appliance
Electrical Safety
The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the boards.
When installing and maintaining the equipment, observe appropriate electrostatic safety precautions
to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.
When operating a device in an electrostatic sensitive area, you must take electrostatic-discharge
(ESD)-preventive measures. These include wearing ESD-preventive gloves, an ESD-preventive wrist
strap, and ESD-preventive clothes to avoid personnel injury or device damage.
To prevent damage to the device, pay attention to the following during operations:
• Do not touch devices with bare hands because ESD from the human body may damage the
electrostatically sensitive elements on a board.
• When dealing with the server or any of the internal components, wear an ESD-preventive wrist
strap, ESD-preventive gloves, and ESD-preventive suit.
High availability (HA) appliance service considerations
Attention: A HA or multi-node appliance is serviced in the same manner as a single node appliance.

Hardware Service Procedure

About removing and replacing a 16Gb Fibre Channel (FC) SFP
optic transceiver module
The 5340 appliance has two Fibre Channel ports that are located in the lower part in the rear of the
appliance. Each port contains a 16Gb FC SFP optic transceiver module. You can replace each SFP
module individually.
You can use this same procedure to replace an FC SFP transceiver module in a specific 16Gb FC
HBA that is mounted to a PCIe riser assembly in the Veritas appliances. The 16Gb FC HBA can be
located in slots 1 and 4 of the PCIe riser assemblies in the 5340 appliance.
Slot 1 Slot 4
The 16Gb FC HBA card can be installed in slots 2 - 6 of the PCIe riser assemblies in the 5240 and
5250 appliances.

This repair can be accomplished with the appliance installed in the rack.
Note: If the appliance has attached storage shelves, you don't need to unplug the power supply while
the appliance is in service.
Requirements
Verify that you have the following items
• Hot-swappable 16Gb Fibre Channel SFP optic transceiver modules
• ESD wrist strap
Locating the appliance with the faulty component
Use the following steps to locate the appliance with the faulty component.
To locate the appliance with the faulty component
1Have the customer take you to the unit with the faulty component.
2Verify the appliance compute node serial number. The serial number is located on the rear panel
of the appliance and begins with letters SYM or VTAS.

Removing a Fibre Channel SFP optic transceiver module
Use the following procedure to remove a Fibre Channel SFP optic transceiver module.
To remove a Fibre Channel SFP optic transceiver module
1Put on an ESD-compliant wrist strap or take other ESD-protective measures.
Note: The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the
boards. When installing and maintaining the equipment you must observe appropriate electrostatic
safety precautions to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.
2Remove the Fibre Channel optic cable from the FC SFP optic transceiver module.
3Lift the lever of the Fibre Channel SFP optic module.
4Use the lever to pull the Fibre Channel SFP optic module straight out of the appliance.

To install a Fibre Channel SFP optic transceiver module
1Put on an ESD-compliant wrist strap or take other ESD-protective measures.
Note: The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the
boards. When installing and maintaining the equipment you must observe appropriate electrostatic
safety precautions to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.
2Locate the new Fibre Channel SFP optic module and remove the black end cap.
3Lift the lever on the new SFP optic module and slide it into the appliance until it seats firmly in
place.
4Lower the locking lever.
5Replace the Fibre Channel optic cable by pushing it directly into the FC SFP optic module until
it clicks into place.
