Remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 top
cover to gain access to node components.
Important: Before
you turn on the node, replace the cover for proper cooling and airflow.
Operating the node for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes)
with the cover removed might damage components.
DANGER
Multiple
power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords.
To remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power
cords.
To remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 cover,
complete the following steps:
- Read the safety information to which Preparing to remove and replace parts refers.
- Optional: Follow the procedure in MAP 5350: Powering off a SAN Volume Controller node to
verify that the node data is mirrored and synchronized, and that there
are no dependent virtual disks (VDisks) before turning off the node.
Most maintenance procedures that require you
to remove the cover are performed with:
- The node turned off
- The power cables disconnected
- The data cables connected
Depending on the part that you are removing
or replacing, you might be able to leave the power cords and the data
cables connected. The removal or replacement procedure for each part
describes what to do about power, the power cords, and the data cables.
If you are removing or replacing a hot-swap fan, for
example, you can leave the node turned on, the power cords connected,
and the data cables connected. However, do not run the node for longer
than thirty minutes without the cover. If you must take a longer time,
turn off the node as directed in MAP 5350.
- Pull back the cable-management arm if you are
working from the rear of the rack, or slide the node out of the rack
to the fully extended rail position if you are working from the front.
You can perform most service actions when the
node is fully extended from the rack on its slide rails.
- Optional: When the node is completely turned off, remove the
cable-retention brackets and disconnect the power cables, as described
in Removing the cable-retention bracket.
- Optional: To make sure that you can replace all cables in the
same ports from which they were removed, label the port position of
each fibre-channel and Ethernet cable; then remove all cables from
the back of the node.
- Optional: Remove the node from the rack
and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See Removing the SAN Volume Controller from a rack.
- Press down firmly on the blue tab ( 2
in Figure 1)
that secures the cover ( 1 ) and slide
the cover toward the rear of the node until the cover disengages the
chassis.
