Get started with replacing the boot media in your AFX 1K storage system by reviewing the replacement requirements, checking encryption status, shutting down the controller, replacing the boot media, booting the recovery image, restoring encryption, and verifying the system functionality.

Review the requirements for boot media replacement.

Shut down the controller in your storage system when you need to replace the boot media.

Remove the failed boot media from the System Management module and install the replacement boot media.

Restore the ONTAP image from the partner controller.

Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.
