Tasks to replace an SP
EMC VNXe3100/VNXe3150 — Replacing a Storage Processor 3
Task 2: Remove the SP assembly
To replace a SP, you must remove the SP assembly from the chassis, and then transfer the
memory modules, the battery backup unit (BBU), the I/O module, and the solid state disk
to the replacement SP assembly.
Follow these steps to remove the SP assembly:
DO NOT REMOVE an SP while the “Unsafe to remove SP” LED is on. If your
system has a single SP, DO NOT REMOVE the SP if the “Unsafe to remove” LED
for the cache protection module is on. The light indicates that you may interrupt
a vital system or data-caching process.
1. Disconnect the network and all other cables from the back of the faulted SP assembly.
Do not remove
any cables from the other storage processor assembly.
Mark the cables with the port numbers from which you removed them.
The SP assembly comes completely out of the chassis. In addition to holding the
latches, be prepared to support the SP assembly to avoid dropping it.
2. Locate the two orange release levers on the SP assembly latches.
3. Squeeze the levers to release the latches and pull the latches outward until they are
fully extended and the SP assembly is released from the chassis.
4. Use the latches to slide the assembly about
half-way
out of the enclosure.
5. Use both hands to support the assembly and pull it fully out of the enclosure.
6. Place the assembly on the clean, flat anti-static work surface beside the replacement
assembly.
