This section explains how to replace hardware components in Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX2540 M7 nodes.
- We strongly recommend engaging an on-site engineer to replace failed hardware components including but not limited to any procedure that:
- This guide doesn't cover
- You haven't received training on
- Requires precautions to avoid damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) by using industry standard anti-static equipment (such as gloves or wrist straps)
- We don’t recommend updating firmware on Qumulo-certified hardware nodes unless the equipment manufacturer or a member of the Qumulo Care team advises you to do so. For questions about this process, contact the Qumulo Care team.
To Remove and Replace the Top Cover
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Removing the top covers (p. 58).
To Replace the NIC
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains two horizontal PCIe riser modules and a NIC inserted horizontally into the bottom module.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Removing an expansion card from a riser module (p. 317).
To Replace a RAID Module Riser
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains two RAID riser modules (for the two mirrored boot drives) inserted horizontally into the motherboard. Each riser module holds an interposer (controller) board.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Handling riser modules (p. 72).
To Replace an Interposer (Controller) Board
Each of the two RAID module risers on your chassis contains an interposer (controller) board which, in turn, holds an M.2 boot drive.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Removing the M.2 interposer board (p. 222).
Replacing an M.2 Boot Drive
This section explains how to replace and initialize the M.2 boot drive in your chassis.
To Replace the M.2 Boot Drive in the Interposer Board
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains two mirrored NVMe boot drives, each of which is inserted into an interposer (controller) board.
-
To replace this component, you must first power off the node.
-
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual:
To Initialize the Replacement M.2 Boot Drive
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains an M.2 boot drive. For more information, see NVMe M.2 Boot Drive.
After you replace the boot drive, you must initialize the replacement boot drive by using the Qumulo Core Installer.
-
To get the correct version of the Qumulo Core Installer for the node in your cluster, contact the Qumulo Care team.
-
Power on your node, enter the boot menu, and select your USB drive.
The Qumulo Core Installer begins to run automatically.
-
When prompted, take the following steps:
-
Select
[x] Perform maintenance. -
Select
[1] Boot drive reset.
The Qumulo Core Installer initializes the boot drive.
-
-
After the process is complete reboot your node.
Your node rejoins the cluster automatically.
To Replace an HDD
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains 12 or 8 HDDs. For more information, see HDD Drives.
You can replace this component without powering off the node.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Installing 3.5-inch HDD modules (p. 150).
To Replace an NVMe Drive
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains 4 NVMe drives in cages 1 (left) and 2 (middle) at the back of the node. For more information, see NVMe Drives.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Rear HDD/SSD extension box (p. 227).
To Replace a Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis contains two PSUs.
You can replace this component without powering off the node.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Installing a hot-plug PSU (p. 126).
To Replace a Fan Module
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis has 6 fan modules.
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Handling the fan cage (p. 76).
To Replace a DIMM
Your Fujitsu RX2540 M7 chassis has 12 DIMM slots, with a locking latch on each side of each DIMM.
-
To replace this component, you must first power off the node.
-
Follow the instructions in the Fujitsu Upgrade and Maintenance Manual: Installing the memory modules (p. 345).
