Take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. Wear an anti-static wrist strap and use a static-protected mat or surface.

1. Read the safety information to which Preparing to remove and replace parts refers.
2. Follow the procedure in MAP 5350: Powering off a node to verify that hosts will not lose access to data in volumes before you power off the node.
3. Slide the node out on its slide rails to the fully extended position.

   You can accomplish most service actions when the node is fully extended from the rack on its slide rails. You can leave the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables connected, if you are using the cable-management arm and if you are not removing the node from the rack. If the location of the node in the rack is too high or too low to work comfortably, you can remove the node from the rack.

4. When the node is completely turned off, remove the cable-retention brackets and disconnect the power cables, as described in Removing the cable-retention bracket.
5. Optional: If you must remove the node from the rack to work on it, perform the following procedure to remove all cables and remove the node from the rack:
   1. To make sure that you can replace all cables in the same ports from which they were removed, label the port position of each Fibre Channel and Ethernet cable; then remove all cables from the back of the node.
   2. Remove the node from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See Removing a node from a rack.
6. From the rear of the operator-information panel assembly, disconnect the cable.
7. Use an object to push down on the release tab ( 2  in Figure 1).

   Hold down the release tab and push the blue push point on the rear of the panel toward the front of the node.

8. From the front of the node, carefully pull the assembly ( 1 ) out of the node while you move the assembly slightly from side to side.
9. If you are instructed to return the operator-information panel assembly, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
