RAID Array 3000 Controller Shelf

3.6.3 Replacing the RAID Controller

When you remove the controller, the airflow
through the shelf is reduced. Always install the re-
placement unit immediately to prevent overheat-
ing.
1. Ensure the SCSI bus connected to the SBB is quiescent (no I/O activity).
2. Grip the two locking latches on the front panel of the controller and pull
them forward until the controller disengages from its mounting slot (Figure
3–17).
3. Transfer the SIMM(s) to the new controller.
4. Remove the controller by sliding it forward and free of the shelf.
5. Insert the replacement controller into the open slot, align the module into the
card guides, and gently slide it into the shelf until the connector engages the
backplane connector in the shelf.
6. Turn the two front panel latches inward to seat the controller in the shelf
slot.
7. Restore the configuration using SWCC.
