Figure 54. Removing a controller module from an enclosure
NOTE:
Removing a controller module shows a 4-port SAS controller module. However, all of the controller modules
use the same latching mechanism.
6. Swing the latch handle open, then grip the latch handle and ease the controller module forward from the slot.
7. Place both hands on the controller module body, and pull it straight out of the enclosure such that the controller module remains level
during removal.
Installing a Controller Module
Before you begin any procedure, see ESD precautions.
CAUTION:
If passive copper cables are connected to the controller module, the cable must not have a connection to a
common ground/earth point.
1. Examine the controller module for damage, and closely inspect the interface connector. Do not install the controller module if the pins
are bent.
2. Grasp the controller module using both hands, and with the latch in the open position, orient the controller module and align it for
insertion into the target slot.
3. Ensuring that the controller module 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. Secure the controller module in position by manually closing the latch.
You should hear a click as the latch handle engages and secures the controller module to its connector on the back of the midplane.
5. Reconnect the cables.
NOTE:
In a dual-controller module system in which PFU is enabled, when you update the firmware on one controller
module, the system automatically updates the other controller module.
