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

Replacing DIMMs in a Cache Module

Disconnect the ECB cable from the cache module.

Use this procedure for the following configurations:

Disengage both retaining levers, remove the cache module,
and place the cache module onto a grounded antistatic mat.

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

Grasp the DIMM and gently remove it from the DIMM slot.

Installing DIMMs
Figure 3 shows the cache-module memory configurations for
both the HSG80 and HSZ80 array controllers. Use the following
steps to install DIMMS in a cache module:

Use the following steps in “Removing DIMMs” and “Installing
DIMMs” to replace DIMMs in a cache module.

NOTE: The only valid cache-module memory configuration for
the HSG80 ACS Version 8.0 Array Controller is 128 MB (4 x 32
MB).

NOTE: The new cache module must contain the same memory
configuration as the existing cache module.
Removing DIMMs
Use the following steps to remove DIMMS from a cache
module:
1.

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.

CAUTION: ESD can easily damage a cache module or a DIMM.
Wear a snug-fitting, grounded ESD wrist strap.
1.

Insert the DIMM straight into the socket and ensure that the
notches in the DIMM align with the tabs in the socket as
shown in Figure .

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
Retaining
clip
(2x)

When the controllers shut 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.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can easily damage a
cache module or a DIMM. Wear a snug-fitting, grounded ESD
wrist strap.

Figure 4. Inserting a DIMM into Its Slot

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

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.
CAUTION: Make sure you align the cache module in the
appropriate guard rails. If you do not align the cache module
correctly, damage to the backplane can occur.

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.

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

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

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

Upgrading Cache Memory in an HSG80 or an
HSZ80 Controller

10. Insert the replacement DIMM straight into the socket and
ensure that the notches in the DIMM align with the tabs in
the socket.

Figure 3 shows the cache-module memory configurations for
both the HSG80 and HSZ80 array controllers. In order to
upgrade cache memory, the controller must be shutdown. Use
the following steps to replace DIMMS in a cache module:

11. In a dual-redundant controller configuration, repeat steps 4
through 10, as appropriate, for the other cache module.
NOTE: In a dual-redundant controller configuration, both cache
modules must contain the same memory configuration.

NOTE: The cache memory for the HSG80 ACS Version 8.0
controller cannot be upgraded. The only valid cache-module
memory configuration for this controller is 128 MB (4 x 32 MB).

CAUTION: Make sure you align the cache module in the
appropriate guide rails. If you do not align the module correctly,
damage to the backplane can occur.

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.

12. Insert the cache module into its slot and engage its retaining
levers.

13. Connect the ECB cable to the cache module.
14. In a dual-redundant controller configuration, repeat steps 12
and 13, as appropriate, for the other cache module.
15. Mount the logical units on the host. If you are using a
Windows NT platform, restart the server.

SHUTDOWN OTHER_CONTROLLER

16. 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 command:

SHUTDOWN THIS_CONTROLLER

When the controllers shut down, their reset buttons and their
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.

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

CAUTION: ESD can easily damage a cache module or a DIMM.
Wear a snug-fitting, grounded ESD wrist strap.
4.

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

Disable the ECB for the cache module you will be adding or
replacing DIMMS in by pressing the battery disable switch
until the status light stops blinking—about five seconds.
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.

Disconnect the ECB cable from the cache module.

Disengage both retaining levers, remove the cache module,
and place the cache module onto a grounded antistatic mat.

If you are adding DIMMs, insert the new DIMM straight into
the socket and ensure that the notches in the DIMM align
with the tabs in the socket.

If you are replacing DIMMs, press down on the DIMM
retaining levers at either end of the DIMM you want to
remove.

Grasp the DIMM and gently remove it from the DIMM slot.
