Procedure
1. If you need to make the chassis as light as possible for moving, you can optionally remove the fabric
modules, fan modules, and power supplies.
To remove a power supply, follow these steps:
a) Slide the handle in the middle of the ejector lever towards the end of the lever and rotate the lever
away from the power supply.
b) Pull the power supply a couple of inches (about 5 cm) out of the chassis.
c) Place one hand under the power supply to support its weight and pull the power supply out of the
chassis.
d) Place the power supply on an antistatic surface.
To remove a fan module, follow these steps:
a) Unscrew the four captive screws on the front of the fan module (one captive screw in each corner
of the front of the fan module).
b) Hold both handles on the fan module with both of your hands and pull the fan module out of the
chassis.
c) Place the fan module on an antistatic surface.
To remove a fabric module, follow these steps:
Note : Before you can remove a fabric module, you must remove the fan module that is installed in
front of it.
a) Press the lever eject button found in the middle of the front of the module.
b) Rotate both of the levers away from the fabric module.
c) When the other end of each lever is no longer holding onto the chassis, pull the two levers to slide
the module a couple inches out of the chassis.
d) Rotate the two levers back to the fabric module. Each lever will click when locked in place.
e) Place one hand on the front of the module and place your other hand under the module to support
its weight.
f) Slide the module out of the chassis and place the module on an antistatic surface.
2. Load the chassis onto a mechanical lift or floor jack as follows:
a) Position the mechanical lift next to the shipping pallet that holds the chassis.
b) Elevate the lift platform to the level of the bottom of the chassis (or no more than 1/4 inch [0.635
cm] below the bottom of the chassis).
c) Use two persons to slide the chassis fully onto the lift so that the side of the chassis touches
or is close to the vertical rails on the lift. Make sure that the front and rear of the chassis are
unobstructed so you can easily push the chassis into the rack.
Warning : To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the
chassis using the handles on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of
handles are not designed to support the weight of the unit.
CAUTION : To lift the chassis, use a mechanical lift. Do not use the handles on the side of the
chassis (the handles are not rated for lifting over 200 pounds [91 kg]). Use the side handles for
only repositioning the chassis after it is already on the mechanical lift or in the rack or cabinet.
3. Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the rack or cabinet.
Make sure that the bottom of the chassis is elevated to the height of the bottom-support rails or no
more than 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) above the rails.
Note : The IBM c-type SAN Device has the front-to-back cold-aisle and hot-aisle air flow design. We
recommend that you maintain a minimum air space of 7 inches (30.5 cm) at the chassis front and
back air vents.
