Removing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 Fibre Channel adapter assembly
You need to remove the riser-card assembly from the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 node and then
remove the Fibre Channel adapter assembly from the riser-card assembly.
Perform the following steps to remove a Fibre Channel adapter assembly:
1.
Turn off the node while ensuring that its data is mirrored and synchronized. See MAP 5350 in the
IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide
for more information.
2.
Remove the cable-retention bracket and disconnect the power cable from the node. See “Removing the
cable-retention bracket” on page 34.
3.
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.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.
4.
Remove the top cover. See “Removing the top cover” on page 77.
5.
Grasp the riser-card assembly at the front and rear edges and lift to remove it from the node. Place
the riser-card assembly shown in Figure 172 on a flat, static-protective surface.
6.
Remove the four SFP transceivers from the adapter. To do this, unclip the release handle shown in
Figure 173 and then use the handle to pull out each SFP transceiver.
7.
Slide the adapter straight back from the connector and out of the riser-card assembly. Do not try to
slide the adapter at an angle.
