Replacing an enclosure: 2145-92F

You can replace a faulty enclosure (FRU 01LJ112) of a 2145-92F expansion enclosure with a new one from FRU stock.

Before you begin

DANGER

Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords. (L003)

CAUTION:

Two of three graphics depict a heavy box being carried by three persons; the other graphic depicts an icon of a lifting device and a text label that the part or unit weighs more than 55 kg (121.2 lb)

The weight of this part or unit is more than 55 kg (121.2 lb). It takes specially trained persons, a lifting device, or both to safely lift this part or unit. (C011)

CAUTION:

To avoid personal injury, before lifting this unit, remove all appropriate subassemblies per instructions to reduce the system weight. (C012)

Note: Perform the following procedure only if directed to do so by IBM® Remote Technical support or by a fix procedure in the management GUI.

This task assumes that the following conditions are met:

All power cables were removed from the enclosure, as described in Powering off the expansion enclosure: 2145-92F.
All SAS cables were removed, as described in Removing and installing a SAS cable: 2145-92F.
The following FRUs were removed from the enclosure, as described in the applicable tasks:
- Top cover (Removing the top cover: 2145-92F)
- Drives (Removing a drive: 2145-92F)
- PSU (1U) fascia (Removing the fascia: 2145-92F)
- Power supply units (Removing a power supply: 2145-92F)
- Secondary expander modules (Removing a secondary expander module: 2145-92F)
- Expansion canisters (Removing an expansion canister: 2145-92F)
- Fan modules (Removing a fan module: 2145-92F)
The expansion enclosure was removed from the rack, as described in Removing an expansion enclosure from a rack: 2145-92F.
A suitably rated mechanical lift is available to support the weight of the enclosure.

About this task

The expansion enclosure (FRU 01LJ112) contains the drive board, signal interconnect board, and internal power cables. If a fault with the drive board or the intercanister link is suspected, you can replace the enclosure. However, you can remove the parts from the old expansion enclosure and reinstall them in the replacement enclosure.

Procedure

Remove the front display (4U) and PSU (1U) fascia from the old enclosure, as described in Removing the fascia: 2145-92F
1. Install the front display (4U) and PSU (1U) fascia on the new enclosure, as described in Installing or replacing the fascia: 2145-92F.
Remove the display panel assembly from the old enclosure, as described in Removing the display panel assembly: 2145-92F.
1. Install the display panel assembly into on the new enclosure, as described in Installing or replacing the display panel assembly: 2145-92F.
Remove the fan interface boards from the old enclosure, as described in Removing a fan interface board: 2145-92F.
1. Install the fan interface boards into on the new enclosure, as described in Installing or replacing a fan interface board: 2145-92F.
Remove the inner section of the slide rail from the old enclosure, as described in Removing the support rails: 2145-92F.
Attach the inner rail section to the new enclosure, as described in Installing or replacing the support rails: 2145-92F.
Replace the new enclosure in rack, as described in Installing or replacing an expansion enclosure in a rack: 2145-92F.
Reinstall the remaining parts into the enclosure, as described in the following topics. You can install the parts in any order.
Important: Ensure that a mechanical lift is available and in place to support the additional weight as the FRUs are reinstalled in the enclosure.
Reconnect the SAS cables, as described in Connecting the optional 2145-92F SAS expansion enclosures .
Reconnect the power cables, as described in Powering on the expansion enclosure: 2145-92F.
Run the next recommended fix procedure in the management GUI to set the serial number of the 2145-92F enclosure.
