Replacing an HS Expander module

Procedures for the removal and installation of HS expander modules.

This section provides procedures for replacing a failed HS Expander module. Illustrations in HS Expander replacement procedures show top panel views of the enclosure, with the module properly oriented for insertion into the top panel of the enclosure near the right wall.

If a HS Expander module fails, the remaining modules are sufficient to maintain operation of the enclosure. You need not halt operations and completely power-off the enclosure when replacing only one HS Expander module.

See CAUTION bullets regarding electrostatic discharge and anti-static protection in the ESD precautions section.

Tip: The illustrations show controller fan module replacement as you face the enclosure front and view the top panel. See also Figure 3 and Figure 1
