This section explains how to replace hardware components in HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 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 Perform the Part Replacement Procedure by Using the FVT
When you replace a component such as the motherboard or a NIC card in your node, you must ensure that the firmware version and configuration are correct for your new components. To do this, you must perform the part replacement procedure by using the FVT.
-
Boot by using the latest version of the Qumulo Core USB Drive Installer.
-
Select [*] Perform maintenance.
-
Select [2] Perform automatic repair after part replacement (non-destructive).
The part replacement procedure runs and the FVT passed! message appears.
In some cases, after the part replacement procedure, the message
FIX: Run the FVT flash command. appears. Enter 1 as you would for a fixable issue to reboot the node and then repeat the part replacement procedure.To Replace an HDD or SSD Drive
Your HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 chassis contains either 24 or 9 HDD drives and 6, 4, or 3 SSD drives. For more information, see Front and Rear Drive Bays.
For information about replacing an HDD or SSD drive, see Removing and Replacing a Hot-Plug Drive in the HPE documentation.
Replacing the 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 on a Riser Card
Your HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 chassis contains one boot drive on a riser card. For more information, see Boot Drive.
For information about replacing an NVMe M.2 boot drive, see Removing and Replacing the Boot Device in the HPE documentation.
To Initialize the Replacement 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 a Power Supply Unit (PSU)
Your HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 chassis contains two PSUs.
For information about replacing a PSU, see Removing and Replacing a Power Supply in the HPE documentation.
To Replace a Fan
Your HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 chassis has internal fans.
For information about replacing a fan, see Removing and Replacing a Fan in the HPE documentation.
To Replace a DIMM
Your HPE Apollo 4200 Gen10 chassis has DIMM slots.
For information about replacing a DIMM, see Removing and Replacing a DIMM in the HPE documentation.
To identify which DIMM failed, you must use the baseboard management controller (BMC) on the node or another hardware monitoring solution.
