Replacing the Loop Bypass Board (LBB) or 
RAID Controller

Use the following instructions to replace an LBB or RAID Controller module. It 
should be replaced while the chassis is powered up (hot-swapped).

NOTE: A PFR500 must have at least one RAID Controller installed while it is 
powered up. Do not remove both RAID Controller while the PFR500 is powered up.

Removing the LBB or RAID Controller

To remove the LBB or RAID Controller:

1. Identify the module to be replaced using NetCentral or rear panel LED indicators.

2. Remove the cables connected to the module.

NOTE: Note where the cables connect to the module.

3. Loosen captive screws as shown in the figure below.

4. Unseat the module by pushing down on the two ejector levers.

5. Pull the module out of the chassis.
