Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 fibre-channel adapter assembly

Perform the following steps to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 fibre-channel adapter assembly:

1. Remove all SFPs, as described in Removing and replacing the fibre-channel SFP connector on a SAN Volume Controller node.
2. Grasp each end of the riser card, tilt the adapter card so that the side with the PCI riser card is higher than the opposite side, and the back is higher than the front.
3. Locate the cage which houses the SFPs through the hole in the back of the node.
4. Align the fibre-channel adapter riser-card connector with the connector on the system board.

7. Install all of the SFPs into the adapter card, as described in Removing and replacing the fibre-channel SFP connector on a SAN Volume Controller node.
8. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the node. Make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed. If you disconnected the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables, make sure that each cable is reconnected to the same port from which it was removed.
