(1) Controller canister
(2) Cam handle
5. Using two hands and the cam handle, slide the controller canister out of the shelf.
Always use two hands to support the weight of a controller canister.
If you are removing the controller canister from an E2812 controller shelf, E2824 controller shelf or EF280
flash array, a flap swings into place to block the empty bay, helping to maintain air flow and cooling.
6. Turn the controller canister over, so that the removable cover faces up.
7. Place the controller canister on a flat, static-free surface.
Step 3: Install the HIC
Install the HIC to increase the number of host ports in your storage array.
Possible loss of data access — Never install a HIC in an E2800 controller canister if that HIC
was designed for another E-Series controller. In addition, if you have a duplex configuration,
both controllers and both HICs must be identical. The presence of incompatible or mismatched
HICs will cause the controllers to lock down when you apply power.
Steps
1. Unpack the new HIC and the new HIC faceplate.
2. Press the button on the cover of the controller canister, and slide the cover off.
