Codonics Infinity Expansion
Module Chassis Replacement

Overview

®
The Codonics Infinity Expansion Module supports
customer replacement of the expansion module chassis. This
document describes the procedure for installing the
replacement chassis.
CAUTION: The user should be properly grounded and
observe anti-static procedures when replacing the
expansion module chassis.

Prepare the Replacement Chassis

The new chassis will not include hard drives or power
supply modules. These components must be moved from
the failed chassis to the new chassis.
1. Unpack the Infinity Expansion Module replacement
chassis.
2. Place the replacement chassis on a flat, solid surface near
the original chassis.
3. Remove the tape securing the front cover.
The interior of the replacement chassis has four empty
hard drive slots. The hard drives and the AC power
adapter will be transferred from the failed chassis.

Shut Down the Infinity System

1. Shut down the Infinity system. Refer to "Shutting Down
and Rebooting" in the Infinity User's Manual.
2. If there is a UPS, power it off.
3. Disconnect the AC power cord from the power outlet or
UPS.

Transfer Hard Drives

1. Open the front door of the failed chassis.
2. For each hard drive in the old chassis:
a. Open the hard drive's lever by pulling up on the
blue tab to open the lever to about 45º.
This disconnects the hard drive from the internal
connector.

b. Slide the hard drive out of the old chassis.
CAUTION: Use care when handling hard drives. Do not
drop the hard drive. Handle only the front, side edges,
and face with the label. Do not handle the underside or
the backplane of the drive. Do not touch any exposed
electronics.
c. Slide the hard drive fully into the corresponding slot
in the replacement chassis.
