Removing the 2145 UPS-1U

Before you remove the 2145 UPS-1U , read all safety notices.

Before you begin

Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice (for example, D005) to find the matching translated notice in IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Safety Notices.

DANGER

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) units contain specific hazardous materials. Observe the following precautions if your product contains a UPS:

The UPS contains lethal voltages. All repairs and service must be performed only by an authorized service support representative. There are no user serviceable parts inside the UPS.
The UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles might carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.
The UPS is heavy because of the electronics and batteries that are required. To avoid injury, observe the following precautions:
- Do not attempt to lift the UPS by yourself. Ask another service representative for assistance.
- Remove the battery, electronics assembly, or both from the UPS before removing the UPS from the shipping carton or installing or removing the UPS in the rack. (D007)

CAUTION:

This part or unit is heavy but has a weight smaller than 18 kg (39.7 lb). Use care when lifting, removing, or installing this part or unit. (C008)

About this task

Complete the following procedure to remove the 2145 UPS-1U.

Attention: Check to make sure that the SAN Volume Controller that is powered by this 2145 UPS-1U is shut down and turned off before step 1. See MAP 5350: Powering off a node.

Procedure

Some SAN Volume Controller node types have two power supply units. Both power supplies must be connected to the same 2145 UPS-1U. The SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 is an example of a node that has two power supplies.
Remove the 2145 UPS-1U front panel, as shown in Figure 3.
Note: The right side of the panel of the 2145 UPS-1U can be difficult to remove. If so, insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the right side of the cover and the frame to gently pry it free.
