b. Push the adapter down past the tab so that the adapter snaps into place on the support.
c. Check the retention latches on the riser card and make sure that they are still securely in place.
d. Close the fibre-channel card retainer to secure the card.
2. Install the fibre-channel card in slot 2.
a. Align the edge connector on the fibre-channel adapter with the connector on the riser card. Press
the edge connector firmly into the riser-card connector. The card is fully installed when the gold
connectors on the edge of the fibre-channel cards are no longer visible.
b. Grasp the riser card assembly by its top edge or upper corners and align the riser card with the
guides for the riser-card connector.
c. Press the riser card edge connector firmly into the slot 2 riser-card edge connector on the system
board. Make sure that the retention latches snap into place to secure the riser card into the slot 2
riser-card connector.
3. Replace the top cover. See “Replacing the top cover” on page 72.
4. Place the node in the rack. See “Replacing the SAN Volume Controller in a rack” on page 48.
Removing the high-speed SAS adapter

DANGER
Multiple power cords. The product might be equipped with multiple power cords. To remove all
hazardous voltages, disconnect all power cords.
This service action requires you to remove the cover and:
v Turn the node off.
v Disconnect the power cables.
v Disconnect the data cables.
To remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 high-speed SAS adapter assembly, perform the
following steps:
1. Read the safety information to which “Preparing to remove and replace parts” on page 20 refers.
2. Follow the procedure in MAP 5350 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller 2145
Troubleshooting Guide to verify that the node data is mirrored and synchronized, and that there are no
dependent volumes before turning off the node.
3. Slide the node out on its slide rails to the fully extended position.
You can perform most service actions when the node is fully extended from the rack on its slide
rails. You can leave the fibre-channel and Ethernet cables connected, if you are using the
cable-management arm and if you are not removing the node from the rack. If the location of the
node in the rack is too high or too low to work comfortably, you can remove the node from the rack.
4. When the node is completely turned off, remove the cable-retention brackets and disconnect the
power cables, as described in “Removing the cable-retention bracket” on page 29.
5. To make sure that you can replace all cables in the same ports from which they were removed, label
the port position of each fibre-channel and Ethernet cable; then remove all cables from the back of
the node.
6. Optional: 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.
