Installing or replacing a caching module involves shutting down and opening your system, removing a failed module if applicable, installing the new module, and running diagnostics. If you are installing a caching module for the first time or upgrading PAMs to Flash Cache modules, you must also enable the software license and configure options.
For the latest information about supported versions of Data ONTAP, supported storage systems, and slot assignments for your caching module, see the appropriate section of this document, the N series Introduction and Planning Guide or the Hardware and Service Guide for your N series system, and the N series support website product publications matrices. The latest versions of these documents are available on the IBM N series support website, which is accessed and navigated as described in Websites
