Controller Maintenance - R&S SpycerBox Cell Hardware Manual

5.3 Controller Maintenance

During the service life of the R&S DVS system you may have to ex-
change the controller module (see section "Controller Module" on
page 2-10). It may be indicated, for example, if a RAID controller failure
occurs. A defective controller module is indicated at the rear of the sys-
tem by a red status LED (see section "Controller Module" on
page 2-10). Furthermore, you might see the warning/alarm icon in the
display on the faceplate that informs you about a hardware failure (see
section "Overview of the Front" on page 2-3). This section describes
how to exchange the controller module.
Incorrect maintenance
Incorrect exchange of the controller module can cause damages to
the system.
Before exchanging the controller module, contact the R&S
DVS service department.
Touching hardware components
Computer hardware contains components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge. If you touch them without precautionary
measures, they can be destroyed.
Use a wrist strap connected to ground when accessing elec-
tronic parts and take care of grounding the system. Avoid
touching the internal components of the computer system.
The exchange of a controller module can be divided into two steps:
1. Removing the controller module from the system.
2. Reassembling the controller module into the system.
Depending on your service contract, different scenarios regarding spare
parts are possible:

You have ordered spare parts together with the system and have
them now available in stock

R&S DVS sends you the new spare parts before you send back the
hardware part you want to replace (advanced replacement)

You first send the hardware part you want to replace and then
receive the new one from R&S DVS
Please refer to the R&S DVS service department for further information
about this.
