SCSI Repeater Card

Use this procedure to service the SCSI repeater card.

  1. The SCSI repeater card will be serviced concurrently.

    Do not remove power from the unit containing the FRU in the location field above during this procedure.

  2. Attention:

    Failure to follow the step-by-step sequence for this FRU removal and/or installation may result in FRU or system damage.

    Use the following precautions whenever you handle electronic components or cables.

    • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
    • If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
    • Keep all electronic components in the shipping container or envelope until you are ready to install them.
    • If you remove, then re-install an electronic component, temporarily place the component on an ESD pad or blanket, if available.

  3. Remove the SCSI repeater card.

    1. Remove all SCSI cables (A) from the SCSI repeater card. There will be either one or two cables attached.
    2. Lift up on the tab located on the bottom of the locking latch (B) that frames the outer edge of the SCSI repeater card. This action pulls the SCSI repeater card out of its connector on the disk drive backplane.
    3. After the SCSI repeater card is fully loose, pull it out from the system unit.

  4. Install the SCSI repeater card.

    1. Align the SCSI repeater card with its slot in the system unit.
    2. Make sure that the locking latch (B) is raised in the unlocked position.
    3. Push the SCSI repeater card fully into the system.
    4. Make sure that the SCSI repeater card is fully seated, with a firm connection to the disk drive backplane.
    5. Push down on the locking latch (B) to secure the SCSI repeater card in position.
    6. Reconnect all SCSI cables to the SCSI repeater card and the SCSCI repeater card in the attached server.
