You can use a KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) device or a serial cable to connect to
the serial port. Bring both devices with you just in case both are needed when the unit
arrives. If you connect to the serial port, use the following SSH client settings:
115,200 b/s
■
8 data bits
■
1 stop bit
■
No parity
■
No flow control
■
VT100 emulation
■
Swapping components
The server can be replaced onsite. However, some components are not included in the
replacement server that you receive. You must remove those components from the
original server and use them in the replacement server. There are a minimum of four
parts to be reused in the replacement server.
The components that can be swapped include:
Battery
■
Bezel
■
Rack mounting guides
■
Note:
New power supplies are shipped installed in the server, and do not need
■
to be swapped.
Model selection
The software for all server models is pre-loaded on the replacement server before it is
shipped from either the factory or depot location.
If for any reason the model selection does not match that which is required for
replacement, then an upgrade process may be required in the field.
The upgrade process is outside the scope of this document and documented separately.
Contact Hitachi Support Connect for upgrade information.
MAC ID and license keys
The replacement server will have a new MAC ID. The new ID forces the need for new
license keys regardless whether it is a single node or complete cluster replacement.
As part of a field replacement process, Hitachi recommends that temporary keys be
obtained to enable quick delivery and implementation. However, any temporary keys
used must eventually be replaced with a permanent key. This is required for all field
scenarios, except when replacing a single node in a cluster.
