Replacing a power supply: 2145-SV1

You can replace either of the hot-swap redundant power supplies in the SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 node. These redundant power supplies operate in parallel; one continues to provide power to the node if the other fails.

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)
Safety icons for multiple power cords

Ensure that you are aware of the procedures for handling static-sensitive devices before you replace the power supply.

About this task

Important: You can "hot swap" the power supply. However, using MAP 5350: Powering off a node to power off the node avoids risking an abrupt power failure on the node, which avoids the possible corruption of data. This procedure assumes that you turned off the node by using MAP 5350. If you did not turn off the node, you used MAP 5350 to ensure that the data is mirrored and synchronized, and that there are no dependent volumes. .

Complete the following steps to replace a power supply on a 2145-SV1 node.

Procedure

  1. Read the safety information.
  2. Grasp the handle on the rear of the power supply, as shown in Figure 1. In this example, power supply 1 is being replaced.
  3. Slide the power supply forward fully into the node until it clicks in place. Verify that the power cord connects firmly into the power-supply connector.

  4. Plug in the power cord to the power supply that you replaced. If necessary, plug in the other power cord.
  5. Verify that the AC power LED ( 1 ) and the DC power LED ( 2 ) are lit. Each power supply has a set of indicator LEDs, as shown in Figure 2. In this example, the figure shows the LED indicators for power supply 1.
    •  1  Green LED indicates that the AC power supply is operating correctly.
    •  2  Green LED indicates that the DC power supply is operating correctly.
    •  3  Amber LED indicates an error in the power-supply error.
