Replacing the RAID Controller
CAUTION:
When you remove the controller, the airflow through the shelf is
reduced. Always install the replacement unit immediately to prevent
overheating.
1.
Ensure the SCSI bus connected to the SBB is quiescent (no I/O activity).
2.
Grip the two locking latches on the front panel of the controller and pull
them forward until the controller disengages from its mounting slot
(Figure 3-17).
3.
Remove the controller by sliding it forward and free of the shelf.
4.
Transfer the SIMMs to the new controller.
5.
Insert the replacement controller into the open slot, align the module
into the card guides, and gently slide it into the shelf until the connector
engages the backplane connector in the shelf.
6.
Turn the two front panel latches inward to seat the controller in the shelf
slot.
7.
Restore the configuration using SWCC.
