Installing an HSG80 or HSZ80 Cache Module
This document contains instructions to replace a cache module in either an HSG80 ACS Version 8.x Array Controller or an
HSZ80 ACS Version 8.x Array Controller. See the appropriate HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.x User’s Guide, HSZ80 Array
Controller ACS Version 8.x User’s Guide, HSG80 Array Controller Version 8.x Maintenance and Service Guide, or HSZ80 Array
Controller ACS Version 8.x Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions on upgrading a single-controller configuration to a
dual-redundant controller configuration.

Replacing a Cache Module

Removing a Cache Module
Use the following steps to remove a cache module:

Use this procedure for the following configurations:

HSG80 ACS Version 8.x Single Controller
HSG80 ACS Version 8.0 Dual-Redundant Controller
HSZ80 ACS Version 8.x Single Controller

From the host console, dismount the logical units in the
subsystem. If you are using a Windows NT® platform, shut
down the server.

If the controller is operating, connect a PC or terminal to the
controller’s maintenance port.

Use the following steps in “Removing a Cache Module” and
“Installing a Cache Module” to replace a cache module (see
Figure 1 and Figure 2).

If the controller is not operating, go to step 5.
3.

Run FMU to obtain the last failure codes, if desired.

Shut down the controllers. In single controller
configurations, shut down “this controller.” In dualredundant controller configurations, shut down the “other
controller” first, then shut down “this controller” with the
following commands:

SHUTDOWN OTHER_CONTROLLER

SHUTDOWN THIS_CONTROLLER

When the controllers shuts down, their reset button and the
first three LEDs are lit continuously. This may take several
minutes, depending on the amount of data that needs to be
flushed from the cache modules.

10. Set the subsystem date and time. In single controller
configurations, set “this controller.” In dual-redundant
controller configurations, set “this controller” and the “other
controller” with the following commands:

Disengage both retaining levers and remove the cache
module. Place the cache module into an antistatic bag or
onto a grounded antistatic mat.
NOTE: Remove the DIMMs from the cache module. They will be
installed in the replacement cache module.

8.
9.

SET THIS_CONTROLLER TIME= dd-mmm-yyyy:hh:mm:ss
SET OTHER_CONTROLLER TIME=dd-mmm-yyyy:hh:mm:ss

Press down on the DIMM retaining levers at either end of the
DIMM you want to remove.

11. Disconnect the PC or terminal from the controller’s
maintenance port.

Grasp the DIMM and gently remove it from the DIMM slot.
Repeat for all DIMMs.

Installing a Cache Module
Use the following steps to install a cache module:
CAUTION: ESD can easily damage a cache module. Wear an
snug-fitting, grounded ESD wrist strap.
Make sure you align the cache module in the appropriate guide
rails. If you do not align the cache module correctly, damage to
the backplane can occur.
1.

Insert the DIMM straight into the socket of the cache module
and ensure that the notches in the DIMM align with the tabs
in the socket.

Press the DIMM gently until it’s seated in the socket.

Double-check to ensure both ends of the DIMM are firmly
seated in the slot and both retaining clips engage the DIMM.

Insert the new cache module into its slot and engage its
retaining levers.
CAUTION: The ECB must be disabled—the status light is not lit
and is not blinking—before connecting the ECB cable to the
cache module. Failure to disable the ECB could result in ECB
damage.

Connect the ECB cable to the new cache module.

If not already connected, connect a PC or terminal to the
controller’s maintenance port.

Restart the controller by pressing its reset button.

When the CLI prompt reappears, display details about the
controller you configured. Use the following command:
SHOW THIS_CONTROLLER FULL

Mount the logical units on the host. If you are using a
Windows NT platform, restart the server.

Replacing a Cache Module

NOTE: A countdown timer allows a total of two minutes to
remove the cache module. If you exceed two minutes, “this
controller” will exit FRUTIL and resume operations.

Use this procedure for the following configuration:

HSZ80 ACS Version 8.1 Dual-Redundant Controller
CAUTION: ESD can easily damage a cache module. Wear a
snug-fitting, grounded ESD wrist strap.

Use the following steps in “Removing a Cache Module” and
“Installing a Cache Module” to replace a cache module.
NOTE: The new cache module must contain the same amount
of memory as the module it’s replacing.

10. Disable the ECB by pressing the battery disable switch until
the status light stops blinking—about five seconds.

Removing a Cache Module
Use the following steps to remove a cache module:
1.

Connect a PC or terminal to the operational controller’s
maintenance port. The controller to which you’re connected
is “this controller”; the controller whose cache module
you’re replacing is the “other controller.”

Disable failover and take the controllers out of their dualredundant configuration with the following command:

CAUTION: The ECB must be disabled—the status light is not lit
and is not blinking—before disconnecting the ECB cable from
the cache module. Failure to disable the ECB could result in
cache module damage.
11. Disconnect the ECB cable from the other cache module,
remove the cache module, and place it onto a grounded mat
or into an approved antistatic bag.
