Replacing A Solid-State Drive (Ssd) - IBM SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 Hardware Maintenance Manual

6. Remove the drive from the drive bay:
a. Slide the orange release latch at the left end of the handle gently to the left to unlock the drive
handle.
b. Rotate the drive handle to the open (unlocked) position, as shown in Figure 111.
c. Gently slide out the drive assembly along the guide rails until the drive is free of the drive bay.

The system error LED and the DASD diagnostics panel LED turn on when a solid-state drive
(SSD) is removed from a drive bay. The system error LED and the DASD diagnostics panel LED
turn off when the SSD is replaced in the drive bay. If you do not replace the SSD in the same
drive bay, the system error LED and the DASD diagnostics panel LED remain lit. To clear the
system error LED and the DASD diagnostics panel LED, turn off the node using the instructions
given in MAP 5350 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide and
remove both power cables.
7. If you are not replacing the drive right away, install a drive-bay blank electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) filler assembly into the empty drive bay.
To make sure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 2
minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the node are protected by having all
bays and PCI slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the drive bay blank EMC
filler assembly from the drive bay to cover any later removal of the device.
8. If you are removing additional hot-swap solid-state drives (SSDs), do so now.
9. If you are replacing drives, replace them now, as described in "Replacing a SAN Volume Controller
2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8 solid-state drive (SSD)."
10. If you are instructed to return the drive assembly, follow all packaging instructions, and use any
packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.

You can replace solid-state drives (SSDs) in the 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8.
Replacing a SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8 solid-state drive (SSD)
You can remove an installed solid-state drive (SSD) from a SAN Volume Controller 2145-CG8 or 2145-CF8
node.
If you are installing a high-speed SAS adapter (feature code 4500) and one to four solid-state drives
(SSDs) (feature code 4601), use the instructions that come with each MES upgrade to install and configure
the high-speed SAS adapter and each solid-state drive (SSD).
