Replacing a RAID Controller in a Veritas 5U84 Primary Storage
Shelf
Document Number: 217
Version: 1.0 (11/06/17)
Purpose
This document describes the process for replacing a RAID Controller in a Veritas 5U84 Primary
Storage Shelf that is connected to a 5340 Appliance.
Electrical Safety
The static discharged by human bodies can damage static-sensitive components on the boards.
When installing and maintaining the equipment, observe appropriate electrostatic safety precautions
to prevent personnel injuries or device damage.
When operating a device in an electrostatic sensitive area, you must take electrostatic-discharge
(ESD)-preventive measures. These include wearing ESD-preventive gloves, an ESD-preventive wrist
strap, and ESD-preventive clothes to avoid personnel injury or device damage.
To prevent damage to the device, pay attention to the following during operations:
•
Do not touch devices with bare hands because ESD from the human body may damage the
electrostatically sensitive elements on a board.
•
When dealing with the server or any of the internal components, wear an ESD-preventive wrist
strap, ESD-preventive gloves, and ESD-preventive suit.
High availability (HA) appliance service considerations
Attention: A HA or multi-node appliance is serviced in the same manner as a single node appliance.
About the RAID Controller in a 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf
The Veritas 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf uses dual, hot swappable RAID Controllers. These controllers
create and manage the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf disk drive RAID arrays that contain backed up
data. They also create and manage the RAID disk drive arrays on 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelves
when those are attached to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf.

- Page 3 A RAID Controller uses fiber cables. It may also have a SAS3 cable attached to it if there is a 5U84 Expansion Storage Shelf as part of the 5340 Appliance system. Label and disconnect any cables connected to the controller. Label each cable to facilitate re-connection to the replacement RAID Controller.

Swing the latch handle open, grip the latch handle and ease the RAID Controller forward from the slot.
