Replacing an HS Expander module
This section provides procedures for replacing a failed HS Expander module. Illustrations in HS Expander replacement
procedures show top panel views of the enclosure, with the module properly oriented for insertion into the top panel of
the enclosure near the right wall.
If an HS Expander module fails, the remaining modules are sufficient to maintain operation of the enclosure. You need
not halt operations and completely power-off the enclosure when replacing only one HS Expander module.
See CAUTION bullets regarding

TIP:
The illustrations show HS Expander module replacement as you face the enclosure front and view the top panel.
