Replacing the top covers: 2145-SV1

You might be required to replace the top covers on a SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 node.

About this task

To replace the top covers on the SAN Volume Controller 2145-SV1 node, complete the following steps.

If you removed the node from the rack, replace it in the rack, as described in Replacing a node in a rack: 2145-SV1.

Replacing the top front cover

Note: If you did not remove the front cover, continue to step 4 for information about replacing the back cover.

Place the front cover close to the front of the node. Ensure that it is aligned correctly.
Slide the front cover forward until it stops, as shown in Figure 1.

Replacing the top back cover

Note: If the front cover was also removed, you must reinstall it before you replace the back cover.

Position the back cover on top of the 2145-SV1 node.

Important: Before you slide the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on both the front, rear, and side of the cover engage the chassis correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will be difficult to remove the cover later.
Raise the release latch and slide the back cover toward the front of the node, as shown in Figure 2.

Important: Both of the top covers must be fitted correctly before you reconnect the AC power to the 2145-SV1 node.
