Task 1: Remove The Storage Processor (Sp) Assembly - EMC VNXe3100 Quick Start Manual

Task 1: Remove the storage processor (SP) assembly

The memory modules reside on the storage processor printed circuit board (motherboard), within the
storage processor assembly. To replace a memory module, you must remove the SP assembly from the
chassis, and then remove its top cover to gain access to processor board components.
Follow these steps to remove the VNXe storage processor assembly:
CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE a storage processor while the "Unsafe to remove SP" LED is on.
The light indicates that you may interrupt a vital system or data-caching process.
If your system has a single storage processor, DO NOT REMOVE the storage
processor if the "Unsafe to remove" LED for the cache protection module is on.
1. Disconnect the network and all other cables from the back of the assembly that includes the faulted
module. Do not remove any cables from the other storage processor assembly.
Mark the cables with the port numbers from which you removed them.
2. Locate the two orange release levers on the storage processor latches.
3. Squeeze the levers to release the latches and then pull the latches outward.
4. Pull out the latches until they are fully extended and the storage processor assembly is released from
its enclosure.
5. Use the latches to partially slide the assembly from its enclosure. When the storage processor is about
half-way out of its enclosure, use both hands to support the assembly and draw it fully out of the
enclosure.
6. Place the storage processor assembly on a clean, flat, static-free work surface.
