Installing new controller canisters in the
controller-drive tray
After you have removed the old controllers, you can install new controllers in the controller-drive
tray.
About this task
Perform the following steps for each controller in the controller-drive tray.
Steps
1. Unpack a new controller canister.
a. Set the new controller canister on a flat, static-free surface near the controller-drive tray with
the top cover up.
b. Save all of the packing materials so that you can, if necessary, ship the old controller canister.
2. Push down the two top cover latch buttons that secure the top cover to the new controller canister.
3. Remove the top cover by sliding it to the rear of the new controller canister.
4. Are you installing the battery in an E2600 controller-drive tray or an E2700 controller-drive tray?
•
Yes – For an E2600 controller-drive tray or an E2700 controller-drive tray, go to step
9
on
page 20.
•
No – Continue with the next step.
5. Insert the battery (either the new battery that you ordered or the battery that you removed from
the old controller canister) into the new controller canister. Slide the battery into the canister,
making sure it stays below the rivets on the wall of the new canister.
6. Keeping the locking handle at a 45 degree angle, align the connectors at the bottom of the battery
with the connectors on the canister.
7. Push the battery down until you hear it click, and move the locking handle up to secure the
controller battery to the controller canister.
Attention:
To make sure that the controller battery is seated correctly in an E5400 controller-
drive tray, an E5500 controller-drive tray, an E5600 controller-drive tray, an EF540 controller-
drive tray, an EF550 controller-drive tray, or an EF560 controller-drive tray, you might need to
slide it out and insert it again. You will know it is secure when you hear it click into place, and
when the locking handle does not move out of its upright position when you wiggle it.
8. Go to step
11
on page 21.
9. Insert the battery circuit board (either the new battery circuit board that you ordered or the battery
circuit board that you removed from the old controller canister) by sliding it towards the front of
the new controller canister.
Note:
To ensure that the battery is seated correctly in an E2600 controller-drive tray or an
E2700 controller-drive tray, you might need to back it out of the connector to make sure that it
is correctly aligned with the thumbscrew.
10. Tighten the thumbscrew to secure the battery circuit board in the new controller canister card.
