3. Remove the power cords from the power supplies and the power outlets.
4. Label the cables connected to all blades and record the connections in Table 19 (page 94).
5. Disconnect the cables from the port blades and set them aside. The SFP or XFP transceivers
can be left in the port blades or they can be removed.
6. Disconnect all cables from the CP8 and CR8 blades.
7. Disconnect any ICL cables.
Removing components from the chassis
CAUTION: Wear a grounded ESD strap when handling DC SAN Director components and port
blades. The chassis provides a grounding connection above the power connectors. Also, store
ESD-sensitive components in antistatic packaging.
Use the following procedures to remove components from the chassis.
1. Removing a cable management comb (page 63)
2. Removing a Director blade (page 64)
3. Removing a core switch blade (CR8) (page 73)
4. Removing a control processor blade (CP8) (page 70)
5. Removing a power supply (page 75)
6. Removing a blower assembly (page 76)
7. Removing the WWN bezel (logo plate) and WWN card (page 79)
Installing the replacement chassis
CAUTION: A fully-populated DC SAN Director (eight FC8-64 port cards, 512 ports) weighs
approximately 159.2 kg (351 lb) and requires a hydraulic or assisted lift to install it.
If the DC SAN Director is installed in a cabinet, ensure that the cabinet is balanced and secured
mechanically and that the removal and installation procedure does not compromise cabinet stability.
1. If the chassis is in a cabinet, remove it from the cabinet, remove the rack mount hardware,
and save the hardware for use with the new chassis.
2. Place the chassis on a lift or on the shipping pallet provided with the original chassis.
