Replacing a host connector

This procedure describes how to replace a host connector. Host connectors
are described in Chapter 4 in the Hitachi AMS 2100/2300 Storage System
Hardware Guide.

Tool needed

• Anti-static wrist strap

Before you begin

1. Verify that if the power saving storage feature is installed on the array,
the disk drives are not in the process of spinning up.
2. Note the LED status on the front of both the base and expansion units
before replacing parts. See Chapter 4 in the Hitachi AMS 2100/2300
Storage System Hardware Guide for a description of the LEDs and their
functions. Verify the following conditions:
• No Alarm LEDS are ON anywhere on the base unit, except the
HALM (Host Alarm) LED on a control unit.
• The Warning LED on the base unit is not blinking.
CAUTION! Do not replace any parts while the green Ready LED
on the front of the base unit is blinking at high speed. The
blinking green LED means that a firmware upgrade is being
downloaded to the unit. Wait until after the download is
complete before replacing any parts.

Unpacking a host connector

1. If you have not already done so, put on an anti-static wrist strap and
connect the clip to the frame of the base array.
2. Remove the host connector from its shipping container.
3. Verify that you have the correct part. See Chapter 3, Parts List, in the
Hitachi Adaptable Modular Storage 2100/2300 Service Guide
4. Set the host connector aside until you are ready to install it.
