Replacing The San Volume Controller In A Rack - IBM SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 Hardware Maintenance Manual

DANGER
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the internal rack ambient temperatures will exceed the
manufacturer's recommended ambient temperature for all your rack-mounted devices.
v Do not install a unit in a rack where the air flow is compromised. Ensure that air flow is not
blocked or reduced on any side, front, or back of a unit used for air flow through the unit.
v Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit so that
overloading of the circuits does not compromise the supply wiring or overcurrent protection. To
provide the correct power connection to a rack, refer to the rating labels located on the
equipment in the rack to determine the total power requirement of the supply circuit.
v (For sliding drawers) Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer
brackets are not attached to the rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack
might become unstable if you pull out more than one drawer at a time.
v (For fixed drawers) This drawer is a fixed drawer and must not be moved for servicing unless
specified by the manufacturer. Attempting to move the drawer partially or completely out of the
rack might cause the rack to become unstable or cause the drawer to fall out of the rack.

3. Pull the node forward and remove it from the rack.

Replacing the SAN Volume Controller in a rack

You must use caution when you replace the SAN Volume Controller in a rack.
Note: If you have recently replaced a field-replaceable unit (FRU) in the node, the repaired node
normally rejoins the cluster as soon as it is powered-on and has completed its self-tests. There are some
exceptions to this, such as when a disk drive has been replaced, or when for some other reason the node
has lost its identity or the integrity of its cluster metadata. Under these circumstances, the node goes
offline. If you are performing this repair under fix procedures, those procedures will automatically restore
the node to the cluster. If you are not performing the repair under fix procedures, you might be required
to delete and add the node back into the cluster.
