Before replacing the chassis in your ASA A1K system, ensure you meet the necessary requirements for a successful replacement. This includes verifying all other components in the system are functioning properly, verifying that you have local administrator credentials for ONTAP, the correct replacement chassis, and the necessary tools.

The chassis is the physical chassis housing all the system components such as the fans, controller/CPU unit, NVRAM12, system management module, I/O cards and blanking modules, and PSUs.

Review the following requirements.

  • Make sure all other components in the system are functioning properly; if not, contact NetApp support for assistance.

  • Obtain local administrator credentials for ONTAP if you don't have them.

  • Make sure that you have the necessary tools and equipment for the replacement.

  • You can use the chassis replacement procedure with all versions of ONTAP supported by your system.

  • The chassis replacement procedure is written with the assumption that you are moving the bezel, fans, controller module, NVRAM12, system management module, I/O cards and blanking modules, and PSUs to the new chassis, and that the replacement chassis is a new component from NetApp.
