Overtemperature condition and power supply shutdown If the fan and communications module fails or is unable to maintain an internal temperature below 70° C (158° F), one or both of the power supplies in the FAStT700 Storage Server might shut down (see Figure 29). If both power supplies shut down, the FAStT700 Storage Server is not operational.
1. Turn off the power switches to allow the FAStT700 Storage Server to cool. 2. When the room temperature is below the upper operating temperature of 35° C (95° F), turn on the power switches. 3. Check the FAStT700 Storage Server for faults or damage. Use the storage-management software to check the overall status of the FAStT700 Storage Server and its components.
2. Check the Battery Support Information label, as shown in Figure 31. Figure 31. Checking the battery service date The Battery Support Information label on the front of the battery has three dates: v Date of Manufacture - Date the battery was built at the factory v Date of Installation - Date the battery was installed in the FAStT700 Storage Server v Replacement Date - Battery replacement date (see the note at the beginning...
Moving or relocating the FAStT700 Storage Server Use the following procedure to remove all component CRUs before moving or relocating the FAStT700 Storage Server. 1. Prepare the FAStT700 Storage Server for shutdown. Refer to “Turning off the power” on page 19. 2.
Page 52
8. To install the FAStT700 Storage Server into a rack cabinet in the new location, do the following: a. Slide the FAStT700 Storage Server into the rack cabinet. b. Insert and tighten two of the screws that you removed in Step 5, on the inside front of the FAStT700 Storage Server.
Attention: If you are removing both controllers (controller A and controller B) from the FAStT700 Storage Server, label controllers A and B with the white tape dots that are included in the rack mounting assembly kit. To prevent data loss, the controllers must be installed into their original location.
v The two controllers are automatically synchronized when you replace a failed controller. The storage-management software automatically synchronizes the firmware between the existing controller and the new controller. Replacing a failed controller When instructed by the storage-management software, replace a controller CRU using the following procedure.
(see Figure 36 on page 42). Check this label to determine when to replace the battery. For information about using the software to track battery age, refer to the IBM FAStT Storage Manager documentation and online help.
v If you replace the battery and still experience battery problems (for example, loss of battery power to the controllers or batteries not charging properly), the FAStT700 Storage Server might have defective components or connections. Check the storage-management software for indications of other component failures.

FAStT700 Storage Server chassis has air vents along its top and sides. These vents serve as air intake and exhaust passages. Always keep vents clean and free of obstructions (Refer to the IBM FAStT700 Fibre Channel Storage Server Installation Guide for operating specifications).
Note: Allow at least 60 cm (2 ft) of clearance in front of and behind the FAStT700 Storage Server for proper ventilation. Figure 38. FAStT700 Storage Server airflow Servicing notes Consider the following when servicing the storage server fan: v The storage server fan and the fan and communications module cooling system failing simultaneously in the storage server is unlikely.
Attention: To prevent damage to the FAStT700 Storage Server components, do not operate the FAStT700 Storage Server without adequate ventilation to the controllers. If it will take longer than 15 minutes to replace the storage server fan, you must shut down the FAStT700 Storage Server to prevent it from overheating.
5. Using Figure 40 as a guide, check the storage server indicator lights on the fan. Power Green light indicates power is on. Normal status: On Problem status: Off Power supply Amber light indicates a power supply fault. Normal status: Off Problem status: On Amber light indicates a fan fault.
Servicing notes Consider the following when servicing the fan and communications module: v The fan and communications module contains two Ethernet connections used for direct network-management. v You can hot swap the fan and communications module as long as you complete the exchange within 15 minutes from when you remove the failed unit until you install the new one.
