This section explains how to replace hardware components in HPE DL325 Gen10 Plus 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 NVMe Drive
Your HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus chassis contains either 19 or 9 NVMe drives.
For information about replacing an NVMe drive, see Storage Drives (NVMe) 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 ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus chassis contains one M.2 boot drive on a riser card.
For information about replacing a 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 ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus chassis contains two PSUs.
For information about replacing a PSU, see Power Supply in the HPE documentation.
To Replace a Fan
Your HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus chassis has eight internal fans.
For information about replacing a fan, see System Fans in the HPE documentation.
To Replace a DIMM
Your HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus chassis has 8 DIMM slots.
For information about replacing a DIMM, see DIMM Installation 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.
