About this task

CAUTION: Access to the drives in your enclosure will time out and the drives will spin down two minutes after a power cooling module is removed from the enclosure. While the system can continue operating on a single power supply, the loss of two blowers causes the DAE to power off unless you replace the module within two minutes. When replacing both cooling modules, ensure that the green light on one module has been steadily on for at least 5 seconds before removing power from the second module.

Steps

  1. Attach an ESD wristband to your wrist and the enclosure.
  2. On an AC power/cooling module, release the cable retention bail, and unplug the power cable.

  3. On a DC power/cooling module, pinch the spring releases on each side of the power cable plug and pull the plug out of the connector.

  4. Remove the power/cooling module as follows:
    1. Press the orange handle button to release the module.
    2. Pull the latch outward, and remove the power/cooling module from its slot.
      CAUTION:To protect a running system from overheating, the enclosure powers off unless you replace the power cooling module within two minutes.
