Removing A San384B-2 From The Cabinet - IBM System Storage SAN384B-2 Installation, Service And User Manual

Removing a SAN384B-2 from the cabinet

These instructions describe how to use the lift tool (PN 09P2481) and the 24–inch
load plate (PN 11P4369) to remove a SAN384B-2 from the cabinet. These
instructions are only for the actual physical removal of a chassis from a 2109-C36
cabinet. These instructions assume that the SAN384B-2 you are removing is fully
shut down and not connected to the fabric. The instructions can be used for
moving a SAN384B-2 to a new location, or when replacing a defective chassis. See
"Removing and replacing a SAN384B-2 chassis" on page 98 for complete steps
required for shutting down the system and removing components before removing
the chassis from the cabinet. If you are only relocating the chassis, you can skip the
steps for removing components.
10. Set the lift tool wheel brake.
11. Release the spring-loaded pins under the load plate, and pull the middle

SAN384B-2 Installation, Service, and User Guide
Note: If the chassis being removed was factory installed, additional shipping
braces were added for stability during shipment. These consist of
L-brackets and flat mounting plates. The mounting plates are attached on
either side at the blower end of the chassis. The L-brackets secure the
mounting plates to the cabinet vertical rails. Detach the L-brackets from
the mounting plates and the cabinet rails before removing the chassis
from the cabinet. If you anticipate that the cabinet with an installed
chassis may be shipped to another location in the future, it is
recommended that you attach these shipping brackets to any
replacement chassis. Take note of how the brackets are assembled and
attached when you remove them from the old chassis.
1. Assemble the lift tool if it is not assembled. The assembly and disassembly
instructions are included with the lift tool. Additional instructions are also in
"Unpacking and assembling the lift tool" on page 16.
2. Remove the two screws holding each vertical cable management finger
assembly from the cabinet vertical rails, and remove the additional screw
securing the chassis to the cabinet rails.
3. Remove the chassis door from the chassis by grasping the door on both edges
and pulling straight out.
4. If any cables remain attached to the chassis, disconnect them.
5. If the chassis was factory installed in the cabinet, there may be additional
shipping brackets attached to the non-port (blower assembly) side of the
chassis, connecting the chassis to the cabinet rails. Remove the screws
attaching the L-brackets to the cabinet rails, and the screws attaching the
L-brackets to flat mounting plates that are connected to the sides of the
chassis.
6. Disconnect both power cords from the SAN384B-2 if they are still attached.
7. Move the lift tool to a position near the rear of the cabinet.
8. Turn the winch crank clockwise to raise the load plate to a height slightly
below the exhaust kit shelf.
9. Turn the winch crank counterclockwise 1/4 turn to set the winch brake.
