This chapter contains information about replacing a controller, EV-DDM CRU, power
supply and fan unit CRU, battery unit, SFP module, and midplane.
Attention:
Guru menu function in the DS4200 Express Storage Subsystem identifies failed
components.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention:
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your storage
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
Service Action Allowed Status LED
Each controller, power supply and fan unit, and battery unit has a blue Service
Action Allowed status LED. The purpose of the Service Action Allowed status LED
is to help ensure that a component is not removed before it is safe to do so. Do not
remove any DS4200 Express component unless the component's Service Action
Allowed status LED is lit.

Attention
Never remove a controller, power supply and fan unit, or battery unit unless
the Service Action Allowed status LED is turned on. Doing so can result in a
potential loss of data availability. If the Needs Attention LED is lit and the
associated Service Action Allowed status LED is not lit, then you must perform
additional diagnostics before you can remove the indicated component. Use
the Recovery Guru instructions in the DS4000 Storage Manager Subsystem
Management window or refer to the appropriate component replacement
instructions in this chapter for the additional diagnostics required in this case.
