Use these instructions when you are prompted to remove a SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 from a rack.
DANGER
Multiple
power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords.
To remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power
cords.
Attention: Do
not touch the power control switches on adjacent SAN Volume Controller nodes
when you remove or install SAN Volume Controller nodes
in a rack. Touching these switches on adjacent SAN Volume Controller nodes
might cause those devices to turn off and make customer data inaccessible.
Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice, such as (C003) for example, to find the matching translated notice in IBM® Systems Safety Notices.
Observe the following precautions when working
on or around your IT rack system:
- Heavy equipment–personal injury or equipment damage might result if mishandled.
- Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet.
- Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
- To avoid hazardous conditions due to uneven mechanical loading, always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
- Rack-mounted devices are not to be used as shelves or work spaces. Do not place objects on top of rack-mounted devices.
- Each rack cabinet might have more than one power cord. Be sure to disconnect all power cords in the rack cabinet when directed to disconnect power during servicing.
- Connect all devices installed in a rack cabinet to power devices installed in the same rack cabinet. Do not plug a power cord from a device installed in one rack cabinet into a power device installed in a different rack cabinet.
- An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on the metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.
- Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
- Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
- Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
- (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
- (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.
Important:
You can perform most service actions when the node is fully extended from the rack on its slide rails.
To remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 from the rack, complete these steps:
- Support the node from the front and the back and pull the node forward slightly and lift to remove the node from the back of the rails ( 3 ).
