Removing A Raid Controller Module - Dell POWERVAULT MD3600F Owner's Manual

Removing a RAID Controller Module

CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You must only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
with the product.
CAUTION:
If your configuration uses fiber optic cables, remember that they are
fragile. Bending, twisting, folding, or pinching fiber optic cables can cause
damage to the cables, degraded performance, or loss of data. To prevent damage,
do not twist, fold, pinch, or step on the cables. Do not bend the cables in less than
a 5 cm (2") radius.
1 If small form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers are present, record the
ports in which they are installed, and remove them.
2 Take the desired RAID controller module offline.
3 Disconnect the cables connected to the RAID controller module.
If fiber optic cables are present, it may be necessary to partially remove the
RAID controller module using the two release levers. Opening the release
levers makes it easier to press down the fiber optic cable release tab. If the
system is still running, do not disturb the second RAID controller module.
4 Push down on the release tab and pull the release lever away from the
chassis. See Figure 16-8.
5 Grasp the release lever and pull the module away from the chassis.
NOTE:
module, do not stack RAID controller modules.
