IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Problem Determination Guide

2. Confirm that you know which canister to replace. Go to “Procedure:
Identifying which Storwize V7000 Gen1 enclosure or canister to service” on
page 254.
3. Record which data cables are plugged into the specific ports of the node
canister. The cables must be inserted back into the same ports after the
replacement is complete; otherwise, the system cannot function properly.
4. Disconnect the data cables for each canister.
5. Grasp the handle between the thumb and forefinger.
Note: Ensure that you are opening the correct handle. The handle locations
for the node canisters and expansion canisters are slightly different.
Handles for the node canisters are located in close proximity to each other.
The handle with the finger grip on the right removes the upper canister (▌1▐).
The handle with the finger grip on the left removes the lower canister (▌2▐).
6. Squeeze them together to release the handle.
