Preparing The Controller Module; To Remove The Canisters - Sun Microsystems RSM Array 2000 Installation Manual

Preparing the Controller Module

This procedure explains how to reduce the weight of the controller module (for
lifting purposes), how to verify its host SCSI ID settings, and how to check the
controller module before installation.
It is easier to lift the controller module and set it onto the support rails if you first
remove all the canisters. A fully loaded controller module weighs approximately 82
lbs. You can reduce the weight by approximately 40 lbs by removing the controllers,
battery, power supplies, and fans.

To Remove the Canisters

Tools: #2 Phillips screwdriver, 1/4-inch flat-blade screwdriver
Equipment: Antistatic wrist strap

a. Grab the left and right edges of the front panel, near the bottom, and pull until

the battery faceplate).
b. With the bottom of the front panel tilted out, slide the front panel down until
the top clears the upper lip of the chassis.
Remove the front panel and set it aside.
