Installing A Raid Controller Module - Dell PowerVault MD3800f Owner's Manual

CAUTION: If your configuration uses fiber-optic cables, remember that they are fragile. Bending,
twisting, folding, or pinching fiber-optic cables can cause damage to the cables, degraded
performance, or loss of data. To prevent damage, do not twist, fold, pinch, or step on the cables.
Do not bend the cables in less than a 5 cm (2 inch) radius.
1. If small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers are present, record the ports in which they are
installed, and remove them.
2. Take the desired RAID controller module offline.
3. Disconnect the cables connected to the RAID controller module.
If fiber-optic cables are present, it may be necessary to partially remove the RAID controller module
using the two release levers. Opening the release levers makes it easier to press down the fiber-optic
cable release tab. If the system is still running, do not disturb the second RAID controller module.
4. Push down on the release tab and pull the release lever away from the chassis.
5. Grasp the release lever and pull the module away from the chassis.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the sensitive EMI contacts on the RAID controller module, do not
stack RAID controller modules.
