Dell EMC PowerEdge MX7000 Enclosure Installation and Service Manual

Installing the second management module

Prerequisites

  1. Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.

Steps

  1. Remove the filler from the second management module slot.
  2. Align and push the second management module into the enclosure.
  3. Follow the wiring chassis guidelines from the User's Guide.
  4. Ensure that both management modules have the same firmware version of OpenManage Enterprise-Modular.
    NOTE:Deployment engineers will see "Firmware mismatch, and management modules redundancy lost" alerts.
  5. No chassis reboot is required once the management module is fully installed.
    1. Management module reboot occurs automatically if the firmware update is required. This will not impact data path.
    2. Management interfaces (iDRAC, IOM, and management module) may encounter link drops during cabling and firmware updates. This is expected as STP reconnects when the management module links are modified or rebooted.

Next steps

  1. Reconnect the network cables to the management module.
