This service action requires you to turn off the node.
To remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 or 2145-CG8 disk drive, perform the following steps:
1. Read the safety information to which “Preparing to remove and replace parts” on page 26 refers.
2. Follow the procedure in MAP 5350 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting
Guide to verify that the node data is mirrored and synchronized, and that there are no dependent
volumes before turning off the node.
3. Slide the node out on its slide rails to the fully extended position.
Fast path: You can perform this service procedure with the node in place. Slide the node out six
inches to verify that the cover is in place, then return the node to its locked position.
You can perform most service actions when the node is fully extended from the rack on its slide rails.
You can leave the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables connected, if you are using the
cable-management arm and if you are not removing the node from the rack. If the location of the
node in the rack is too high or too low to work comfortably, you can remove the node from the rack.
4. Optional: If you must remove the node from the rack to work on it, perform the following procedure
to remove all cables and remove the node from the rack:
a. Pull back the cable-management arm if you are working from the rear of the rack, or slide the
node out of the rack to the fully extended rail position if you are working from the front.
b.
When the node is completely turned off, remove the cable-retention brackets and disconnect the
power cables, as described in “Removing the cable-retention bracket” on page 34.
c. To make sure that you can replace all cables in the same ports from which they were removed,
label the port position of each Fibre Channel and Ethernet cable; then remove all cables from the
back of the node.
d. Remove the node from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See “Removing the
SAN Volume Controller from a rack” on page 46.
5. Make sure that the cover is in place and fully closed.
Attention: To avoid damage to the disk drive connectors, make sure that the cover is in place and
fully closed whenever you install or remove the hard-disk drive.
