6.4 Replacing Subsystem Components
6.4.1 Replacing Controller Module
When replacing a failed Controller Module, please follow these steps:
1. Make sure the subsystem is in power off state. Loosen the thumbscrews on the
sides of the Controller Module case.
2. Use the Controller handle to pull out the defective Controller.
3. Insert and slide the new Controller in. Note that it may be necessary to remove
the old/defective Controller Module from the case and install the new one.
4. Tighten the thumbscrews on the sides of the Controller Module case.
6.4.1.1 Replacing Controller Module with Blanking Plate
When replacing a failed Controller Module with Blanking Plate, please follow these steps:
1. Loosen thumbscrews of the failed Controller Module.
2. Use the Controller Module handle to remove the failed Controller Module from the
subsystem.
3. Insert the Controller Blanking Plate.
4. Tighten the screws of the Blanking Plate.
When replacing a failed component online, it is not recommended to
remove the failed component for a long period of time; proper air flow
within the enclosure might fail causing high controller/disk drive
temperature.
