You must remove one more or more existing NIC or storage modules in your
system in order to install one or more X91148A storage modules into your fully-populated
system.
About this task
- Your system must be running ONTAP 9.8 and
later.
- To non-disruptively add the X91148A module, you must takeover the target
controller, add the module, and then giveback the target controller.
- If you are adding the X91148A module as a storage adapter, you must install the
module in slots 3 and/or 7.
- If you are adding the X91148A module as a 100GbE NIC, you can use any open
slot. However, by default, slots 3 and 7 are set as storage slots. If you wish
to use those slots as network slots and will not add NS224 shelves, you must
modify the slots for networking use with the storage port modify -node <node name> -port
<port name> -mode network command for each port. See the
Hardware Universe for other slots that can be used by the X91148A module for
networking.
