Replacing the cable-management arm
Replace the cable-management arm after you install the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 node
into the rack.
Removing the cable-retention bracket
The SAN Volume Controller models 2145-CF8, 2145-8A4, 2145-8G4,
2145-8F4, and 2145-8F2 provide a cable-retention bracket, which ensures
that the node does not mistakenly become unplugged from the uninterruptible
power supply.
Replacing the cable-retention bracket
Replace the cable-retention bracket after you install SAN Volume Controller model 2145-8A4, 2145-8G4,
or 2145-8F4 into
the rack.
Replacing a disk drive and a service controller on the SAN Volume Controller
When you replace a service controller at the
same time that you replace the disk drive, you might not be able to
perform a node rescue because the nonvolatile memory
in the "new" service controller does not contain the operating
system software required to do so.
Replacing the memory modules (DIMM)
The memory modules are electrostatic-discharge (ESD) sensitive.
Take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity.
Removing the disk-drive backplane
You might have to remove the disk-drive backplane,
which includes the simple-swap SAS back plate in the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 or
the SATA back plate for a SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.
Replacing the disk-drive backplane
You might have to replace the disk-drive backplane,
which includes the simple-swap SAS backplane in the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 or
the hot-swap SATA backplane for a SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4.
Removing the CMOS battery
You must remove the system board complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS), or system-board, battery to replace it or to
perform routine maintenance.
Replacing the CMOS battery
You must replace the system board complementary metal-oxide
semiconductor (CMOS) battery after you perform routine maintenance.
Removing the power supply
You must remove the SAN Volume Controller power
supply if you intend to replace it.
Replacing the power supply
You might need to replace the SAN Volume Controller power
supply for a service action.
Replacing the SAN Volume Controller system board
You will reuse all the components from the
system board
that you are replacing with the new SAN Volume Controller system
board field-replaceable unit (FRU).
