Handling field replaceable units (FRUs)

This section describes the precautions that you must take and the general procedures you must follow when removing, installing, and storing any field replaceable unit (FRU).

Power issues and FRUs

Your storage system is designed to be powered on continuously. Most components are hot swappable; that is, you can replace or install these components while the storage system is running. Front bezels should always be attached and each compartment should contain a FRU or filler panel to ensure EMI compliance and proper air flow over the FRUs. You should not remove a faulty FRU until you have a replacement available. When you replace or install FRUs, you can inadvertently damage the sensitive electronic circuits in the equipment by simply touching them. Electrostatic charge (ESD) that has accumulated on your body discharges through the circuits. If the air in the work area is very dry, running a humidifier in the work area will help decrease the risk of ESD damage. Follow the procedures below to prevent damage to the equipment. Read and understand the following instructions: Provide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the work site of any unnecessary materials or materials that naturally build up electrostatic charge, such as foam packaging, foam cups, cellophane wrappers, and similar items. Do not remove replacement or upgrade FRUs from their antistatic packaging until you are ready to install them. Before you service a storage system, gather together the ESD kit and all other materials you will need. Once servicing begins, avoid moving away from the work site; otherwise, you may build up an electrostatic charge. An ESD wristband is supplied with your storage system. To use it, attach the clip of the ESD wristband (strap) to any bare (unpainted) metal on the storage system; then put the wristband around your wrist with the metal button against your skin.

Use the ESD kit when handling any FRU. If an emergency arises and the ESD kit is not available, follow the procedures in the Emergency procedures (without an ESD kit) section.

Emergency procedures (without an ESD kit)

In an emergency when an ESD kit is not available, use the following procedures to reduce the possibility of an electrostatic discharge by ensuring that your body and the subassembly are at the same electrostatic potential. These procedures are not a substitute for the use of an ESD kit. Follow them only in the event of an emergency. Before touching any FRU, touch a bare (unpainted) metal surface of the cabinet or storage system. Before removing any FRU from its antistatic bag, place one hand firmly on a bare metal surface of the storage system, and at the same time, pick up the FRU while it is still sealed in the antistatic bag. Once you have done this, do not move around the room or touch other furnishings, personnel, or surfaces until you have installed the FRU. When you remove a FRU from the antistatic bag, avoid touching any electronic components and circuits on it. If you must move around the room or touch other surfaces before installing a FRU, first place the FRU back in the antistatic bag. When you are ready again to install the FRU, repeat these procedures.

Removing an LCC

CAUTION A DAE must have at least one LCC installed while it is powered up. Do not remove both LCCs while the disk enclosure is powered up. 1. Remove each copper cable connected to the LCC by gently pressing the connector latches to release the cable (Figure 1).
Note where the cables connect to the LCC; you will need to reconnect them to the replacement LCC.

Installing an LCC

CAUTION If you are replacing a failed LCC, wait at least 30 seconds after removing the failed LCC before installing the replacement LCC. 1. Gently push the LCC into the enclosure until it is completely seated in the enclosure midplane (Figure 3 ).

The orientation of the connector for the EXP cable is opposite the orientation of the connector for the PRI cable.

Verifying the operation of a new or replacement part using Navisphere Manager

1. Start Navisphere Manager for the storage system by entering the IP address in a browser window. 2. In the Navisphere Manager Storage tree, locate the icon for the storage system in which you installed or replaced the part, expand the storage-system icon, and select the Physical icon. 3. Expand the enclosure in which you installed or replaced the part, and navigate to the part. 4. Verify that the part is in the enclosure and that it is not faulted.
