Use these instructions to remove a 4-bay storage enclosure
from the Flex System Enterprise
Chassis.
Before you remove a 4-bay storage enclosure, you must prepare
the enclosure for removal. See the documentation that comes with your
storage enclosure for detailed instructions to shut down and remove
the enclosure. Storage node documentation is available from the Flex System v7000 storage node information
page.
Attention: - Make sure that you know which type of storage enclosure you are
removing. The procedures for removing a storage control enclosure
are different from the procedures for removing a storage expansion
enclosure.
- If your storage enclosure is powered on and performing I/O operations,
follow the detailed instructions that come with the storage enclosure
to prepare the enclosure for removal.
- Record which data cables are plugged into the specific ports on
the enclosure. The cables must be connected back to the same ports
after the replacement is complete; otherwise, the system cannot function
properly.
- To maintain proper chassis cooling, do not operate the chassis
without a storage enclosure or fillers installed in each node bay.
Install a storage enclosure or reinstall the chassis shelves and node
fillers within 1 minute of the removal of a storage enclosure.
Follow the detailed instructions that come with the 4-bay
storage enclosure to shut down the enclosure and remove it from the Flex System Enterprise
Chassis.
