Reinstalling the controller module and booting the system
After you replace a component within the controller module, you must reinstall the
controller module in the system chassis.
About this task

When recabling, remember to reinstall the media converters (SFPs) if you are
using fiber cables.
If your system is in...
An HA pair in which both controller
modules are in the same chassis
A stand-alone configuration or an HA pair
in which both controller modules are in
separate chassis
Then perform these steps...
1. Be prepared to interrupt the boot
process.
The controller module begins to boot as
soon as it is fully seated in the chassis.
2. With the cam handle in the open
position, insert the controller module
into the chassis, firmly pushing until the
controller module meets the midplane,
and then close the cam handle so that
the latch clicks into the locked position
and the controller module is fully seated.
Attention: Do not use excessive force
when sliding the controller module into
the chassis; you might damage the
connectors.
