Removing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 fibre-channel adapter assembly

Perform the following steps to remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8G4 fibre-channel adapter

assembly:

1. Turn off the node while ensuring that its data is mirrored and synchronized. See MAP 5350 in the

IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller 2145 Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

connector before you turn on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the

system board, the riser-card assembly, or the adapter.

2. When the node is completely turned off, remove the main power cable-retention bracket and remove

the power cable from the rear of the node.

3. After writing down their locations, remove all other cables from the node.

4. Remove the node from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface. See “Removing the

SAN Volume Controller from a rack” on page 40.

6. Grasp the riser-card assembly (

in Figure 177) at the rear edge and lift to remove the riser-card

assembly.

7. Place the riser-card assembly on a flat, static-protective surface.
