3. Loosen the hook and loop strap binding the cables to the cable management device, and then unplug the
system cables and SFPs (if needed) from the controller module, keeping track of where the cables were
connected.
Leave the cables in the cable management device so that when you reinstall the cable management
device, the cables are organized.
4. Remove and set aside the cable management devices from the left and right sides of the controller module.
5. Remove the controller module from the chassis:
a. Insert your forefinger into the latching mechanism on either side of the controller module.
b. Press down on the orange tab on top of the latching mechanism until it clears the latching pin on the
chassis.
The latching mechanism hook should be nearly vertical and should be clear of the chassis pin.
c. Gently pull the controller module a few inches toward you so that you can grasp the controller module
sides.
d. Using both hands, gently pull the controller module out of the chassis and set it on a flat, stable
surface.
6. Repeat these steps for the other controller module in the chassis.
Step 2: Move the fans
To move the fan modules to the replacement chassis when replacing the chassis, you
must perform a specific sequence of tasks.
1. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
2. Remove the bezel (if necessary) with two hands, by grasping the openings on each side of the bezel, and
then pulling it toward you until the bezel releases from the ball studs on the chassis frame.
3. Press down the release latch on the fan module cam handle, and then rotate the cam handle downward.
The fan module moves a little bit away from the chassis.
4. Pull the fan module straight out from the chassis, making sure that you support it with your free hand so
that it does not swing out of the chassis.
CAUTION:
The fan modules are short. Always support the bottom of the fan module with your free hand so that it does
not suddenly drop free from the chassis and injure you.
5. Set the fan module aside.
6. Repeat the preceding steps for any remaining fan modules.
7. Insert the fan module into the replacement chassis by aligning it with the opening, and then sliding it into
the chassis.
8. Push firmly on the fan module cam handle so that it is seated all the way into the chassis.
The cam handle raises slightly when the fan module is completely seated.
9. Swing the cam handle up to its closed position, making sure that the cam handle release latch clicks into
