Replacing an IOM 131
6. Grip the latch handle and ease the IOM forward from the slot as shown in Figure 91.
Figure 91 Removing an IOM
NOTE: The illustration above shows a 4-port controller module of model type FC/iSCSI. However, the
procedure applies to all IOMs discussed herein. They all use the same latch mechanism, but feature
different face plate geometry.
7. Place both hands on the canister body, and pull it straight out of the enclosure such that the controller module
remains level during removal.
Installing an IOM
See CAUTION bullets regarding electrostatic discharge and anti-static protection on page 116.
CAUTION:
I
f passive copper cables are connected, the cable must not have a connection to a common ground/earth
point.
NOTE: When performing the following procedure, refer to Figure 91 (page 131) while ignoring the directional
arrow. For installation, the IOM will travel in the opposite direction relative to the arrow shown.
1. Examine the IOM for damage, and closely inspect the interface connector. Do not install if the pins are bent.
2. Grasp the IOM using both hands, and with the latch in the open position, orient the module and align it for
insertion into the target IOM slot.
3. Ensuring that the IOM is level, slide it into the enclosure as far as it will go.
A controller module that is only partially seated will prevent optimal performance of the controller enclosure.
Verify that the controller module is fully seated before continuing.
