5. Grasp the module latch between the thumb and forefinger, and squeeze the flange and handle together to release the latch
handle, and swing the latch handle out to release the controller module from its seated position.
6. Swing the latch handle open, then grip the latch handle and slide the controller module forward from the slot.
Figure 57. Removing a controller module from an enclosure
NOTE:
This figure shows a 4-port SAS controller module. However, all of the controller modules use the same latching
mechanism.
7. Place both hands on the controller module, and pull it straight out of the enclosure such that the controller module remains
level during removal.
Installing a replacement controller module in a dual-controller module enclosure
Perform the following steps to install a replacement controller module in a dual-controller module enclosure:
Before you begin any procedure, see ESD precautions.
1. Examine the replacement controller module for damage, and closely inspect the interface connector. Do not install the
replacement 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.

NOTE:
This figure shows a 4-port SAS controller module. However, all of the controller modules use the same latching
mechanism.
3. Ensuring that the controller module is level, slide it into the enclosure until it stops.
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.
