Figure 56. Removing an IOM
6 Grip the latch handle and ease the IOM forward from the slot as shown in detail No.2 within Figure 55. IOM latch operation detail.
NOTE
: Figure 56. Removing an IOM shows a 4-port SAS controller module. However, the procedure applies to all IOMs
discussed herein. They all use the same latch mechanism, but feature dierent face plate geometry.
7 Place both hands on the IOM body, and pull it straight out of the enclosure such that the controller module remains level during
removal.
Installing an IOM
Before you begin any procedure, see ESD precautions..
CAUTION
: If passive copper cables are connected, the cable must not have a connection to a common ground/earth point.
NOTE: When performing the following procedure, See Figure 56. Removing an IOM while ignoring the directional arrow. For
installation, the IOM will travel in the opposite direction relative to the arrow shown.
1
Examine the IOM for damage, and closely inspect the interface connector. Do not install if the pins are bent.
2 Grasp the IOM using both hands, and with the latch in the open position, orient the module and align it for insertion into the target
IOM slot.
3 Ensuring that the IOM is level, slide it into the enclosure as far as it will go.
A controller module that is only partially seated will prevent optimal performance of the controller enclosure. Verify that the controller
module is fully seated before continuing.
4 Set the module in position by manually closing the latch.
