You might have to remove the operator-information panel on
a SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 due
to required maintenance.
Make careful note of the layout of the cables as you go through
this procedure as they will need replacing in the same position when
you replace the operator-information panel.
Perform the following steps to remove the operator-information panel:
- Turn off the node while
ensuring that its data is mirrored and synchronized. See MAP 5350: Powering off a SAN Volume Controller node for
more information.
- Remove the cable-retention bracket and disconnect
the power cable from the node. See Removing the cable-retention bracket.
- Remove the node from the rack
and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See Removing the SAN Volume Controller from a rack.
- Remove the top cover. See Removing the top cover.
- Remove the screws (
in Figure 1) that secure the operator-information panel to
the CD/DVD bay housing. Figure 1. SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 operator-information panel
- Lift the operator-information panel out
of the node.
- Disconnect the light-panel cable
and the USB
