Drives are fragile. Handle them as little as possible to prevent damage to them.
3. Align the drive from the old chassis with the same bay opening in the new chassis.
4. Gently push the drive into the chassis as far as it will go.
The cam handle engages and begins to rotate upward.
5. Firmly push the drive the rest of the way into the chassis, and then lock the cam handle by pushing it
up and against the drive holder.
Be sure to close the cam handle slowly so that it aligns correctly with the front of the drive carrier. It
clicks when it is secure.
6. Repeat the process for the remaining drives in the system.
== Step 3: Replace a chassis from within the equipment rack or system cabinet
You must remove the existing chassis from the equipment rack or system cabinet before you can install
the replacement chassis.
1. Remove the screws from the chassis mount points.
2. With two people, slide the old chassis off the rack rails in a system cabinet or equipment rack, and
then set it aside.
3. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
4. Using two people, install the replacement chassis into the equipment rack or system cabinet by
guiding the chassis onto the rack rails in a system cabinet or equipment rack.
5. Slide the chassis all the way into the equipment rack or system cabinet.
6. Secure the front of the chassis to the equipment rack or system cabinet, using the screws you
removed from the old chassis.
7. If you have not already done so, install the bezel.
== Step 4: Install the controller modules
After you install the controller modules into the new chassis, you need to boot it.
For HA pairs with two controller modules in the same chassis, the sequence in which you install the
controller module is especially important because it attempts to reboot as soon as you completely seat it
in the chassis.
1. Align the end of the controller module with the opening in the chassis, and then gently push the
controller module halfway into the system.
Do not completely insert the controller module in the chassis until instructed to do so.
2. Recable the console to the controller module, and then reconnect the management port.
3. Plug the power cables into the power supplies and reinstall the power cable retainers.
4. Complete the reinstallation of the controller module:
a. Firmly push the controller module into the chassis until it meets the midplane and is fully seated.
The locking latches rise when the controller module is fully seated.
