Before you can replace the fibre-channel adapter assembly,
it must be installed in the riser-card assembly.
Perform the following steps to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 fibre-channel
adapter assembly:
- Remove the SFP connectors if
they are in the new fibre-channel adapter assembly. To do this, unclip
the release handle and then use the handle to pull out each SFP connector.
- Slide the fibre-channel adapter into position, keeping
it close and parallel to the back edge of the riser card. Push the
adapter securely into the connector. Ensure that the positioning clip
on the adapter goes into the locating hole on the riser card, as shown
in Figure 1.
