To remove the SAN Volume Controller 2145-CF8 from the rack, complete these steps:
1. 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..
2. Pull back the cable-management arm if you are working from the rear of the rack, or slide the node
out of the rack to the fully extended rail position if you are working from the front.
3. To make sure that you can replace all cables in the same ports from which they were removed, record
the position of all fibre-channel and Ethernet cables; then remove all cables from the back of the node.
4. Pull forward the two white catches (1 in Figure 37) on the side of the rails, and lift up the front of
the node very slightly.
5. Support the node from the front and the back and pull the node forward slightly and lift to remove
the node from the back of the rails (3).
