CAUTION:
Use caution when you are removing or replacing a secondary expander module
from an enclosure (01LJ112) that is powered on. Avoid contact with the
connectors on the main board. Only an IBM Service Support Representative
(SSR) can remove the secondary expander module if the 01LJ112 enclosure is
powered.
Important: You can remove a secondary expander module without powering off
the expansion enclosure. However, to maintain operating temperature, perform the
following tasks.
v Do not remove a faulty secondary expander module until its replacement is
v Do not keep the cover off an operational enclosure for more than 15 minutes.
About this task
The secondary expander modules provide SAS connectivity between the expansion
canisters and the drives. Each drive has 2 SAS ports. SAS port 1 of each drive is
connected to secondary expander module 1. SAS port 2 of each drive is connected
to secondary expander module 2. Each expansion canister is connected to both
secondary expander module 1 and secondary expander module 2. If secondary
expander module 2 is missing or is faulty, the expansion canisters can
communicate only with SAS port 1 on each drive. Similarly, if secondary expander
module 1 is missing or is faulty, the expansion canisters can communicate only
with SAS port 2 on each drive.

The reduction in airflow through the enclosure might cause the enclosure or its
components to shut down to protect from overheating.
