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:
- 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 SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 cable
retention bracket.
- 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.
- 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.
- Disconnect the power supply from the power backplane.
- Slide the power backplane to the left, as shown in Figure 1, and disconnect
it from the system board.
