Replacing a node in a rack: 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8
Follow these instructions when you are prompted to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8 node.
Before you begin
Attention: Do not touch the power control switches on adjacent SAN Volume Controller nodes when you
remove or install SAN Volume Controller nodes in a
rack. Touching these switches on adjacent SAN Volume Controller nodes might
cause those devices to turn off and make customer data inaccessible.
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.
About this task
To replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8 in a rack, follow these steps:
Procedure
- Place the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8 in
the rails on the rack.
- Pull the slide rails forward ( 1 in Figure 1) until they click twice into place.
- Carefully lift the server and tilt it into position over the slide rails so that the rear nail heads 2 on the server line up with the rear slots 3 on the slide rails.
- Slide the server down until the rear nail heads slip into the two rear slots; then slowly lower the front of the server 4 until the other nail heads slip into the other slots on the slide rails.
- Verify that the front latch 5 slides over the nail heads.
