Removing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 power backplane

The SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 power backplane might have to be replaced.

Take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a static-protected mat or surface. For more information, see Handling static-sensitive devices.
Perform the following steps to remove the power backplane:
  1. 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.
  2. Remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 cable retention bracket.
  3. To make sure that you can replace all cables in the same ports from which they were removed, record the position of all fibre-channel and Ethernet cables; then remove all cables from the back of the node.
  4. Remove the node from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See Removing the SAN Volume Controller from a rack.
  5. Remove the top cover. See Removing the top cover.
  6. Disconnect the power supply from the power backplane.
  7. Slide the power backplane to the left, as shown in Figure 1, and disconnect it from the system board.
