IBM SAN384B Portable Media Storage User Manual


 
Removing a SAN384B from the cabinet
These instructions describe how to use the lift tool (PN 09P2481) and the 24–inch
load plate (PN 11P4369) to remove a SAN384B from the cabinet. These instructions
are only for the actual physical removal of a chassis from a 2109-C36 cabinet. These
instructions assume that the SAN384B you are removing is fully shut down and
not connected to the fabric. The instructions can be used for moving a SAN384B to
a new location, or when replacing a defective chassis. See “Removing and
replacing a SAN384B chassis” on page 91 for complete steps required for shutting
down the system and removing components before removing the chassis from the
cabinet. If you are only relocating the chassis, you can skip the steps for removing
components.
1. Assemble the lift tool if it is not assembled. The assembly and disassembly
instructions are included with the lift tool. Additional instructions are also in
“Unpacking and assembling the lift tool” on page 15.
2. Remove the two screws holding each vertical cable management finger
assembly from the cabinet vertical rails, and remove the additional screw
securing the chassis to the cabinet rails.
3. Remove the chassis door from the chassis by grasping the door on both edges
and pulling straight out.
4. If any cables remain attached to the chassis, disconnect them.
5. If the chassis was factory installed in the cabinet, there may be additional
shipping brackets attached to the non-port (blower assembly) side of the
chassis, connecting the chassis to the cabinet rails. Remove the screws
attaching the L-brackets to the cabinet rails, and the screws attaching the
L-brackets to flat mounting plates that are connected to the sides of the
chassis.
6. Disconnect both power cords from the SAN384B if they are still attached.
7. Move the lift tool to a position near the rear of the cabinet.
8. Turn the winch crank clockwise to raise the load plate to a height slightly
below the exhaust kit shelf.
9. Turn the winch crank counterclockwise 1/4 turn to set the winch brake.
10. Set the lift tool wheel brake.

55 kg ( 121.2 lbs)
CAUTION:
A fully populated SAN384B weighs approximately 68 kg (150 lb) and
requires a minimum of two people and a lift tool to install it. (C011)
11. Release the spring-loaded pins under the load plate, and pull the middle
section of the load plate to the full extension. You may need to release the pin
closest to the cabinet to allow the middle section to fully extend. Make sure
the spring-loaded pin snaps back into place. The gap between the end of the
load plate middle section and the port side exhaust kit shelf should be no
more than 2.5 cm (1 in.). If the gap is larger than this, either the lift tool is not
positioned close enough to the cabinet, or the load plate middle section is not
fully extended. Adjust as needed.
12. Carefully slide the chassis from the cabinet onto the 24–inch load plate. Center
the chassis on the platform.
13. Release the spring-loaded pins under the load plate, and pull the middle
section of the load plate back into the load plate.
14. Install the retention straps to secure the chassis to the lift tool.
