should not be removed from the subsystem until a replacement is
readily at hand and can be quickly installed. Removing a
subsystem component without replacing it can lead to permanent
damage.
When replacing any hot-swappable component, caution should
be taken to ensure that the components are handled in an
appropriate manner. Rough or improper handling of components
can lead to irreparable damage.
When removing a RAID controller from the subsystem, ensure
that your applications running on servers have been properly
closed, users notified of the down time, all cached writes
conducted, etc. Ensure that power has been turned off and that
all precautionary measures, without exception, are adhered to.
The controller board is very sensitive and can be easily
damaged.
WARNING!
When inserting a removable module, take heed that
DO NOT USE
EXCESSIVE FORCE!
Forcing or slamming a module can damage the
connector pins either on the module itself or on the backplane. Gently push
the module until it reaches the end of module slot. Feel the contact
resistance and use slightly more force to ensure the module connectors are
correctly mated. If the module comes with ejection levers or retention
screws, use them to secure the module.
