Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 adapter assemblies

Perform the following steps to install the fibre-channel card into the riser-card assembly:

1. Install the fibre-channel card in slot 1, which is shown in Figure 1.
   Figure 1. SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 or SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 PCI slot 1 card retainer
   1. Slide the I/O connector portion of the adapter through the slot 1 opening and align the edge connector on the low-profile adapter with the connector on the riser card. Press the edge connector firmly into the riser-card connector. Make sure that the adapter snaps into the riser card securely and the adapter is lying on top of the low-profile adapter support.
   2. Push the adapter down past the tab so that the adapter snaps into place on the support.
   3. Check the retention latches on the riser card and make sure that they are still securely in place.
   4. Close the fibre-channel card retainer to secure the card.
2. Install the fibre-channel card in slot 2.
   1. Align the edge connector on the fibre-channel adapter with the connector on the riser card. Press the edge connector firmly into the riser-card connector. The card is fully installed when the gold connectors on the edge of the fibre-channel cards are no longer visible.
   2. Grasp the riser card assembly by its top edge or upper corners and align the riser card with the guides for the riser-card connector.
   3. Press the riser card edge connector firmly into the slot 2 riser-card edge connector on the system board. Make sure that the retention latches snap into place to secure the riser card into the slot 2 riser-card connector.
