After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective. v Reinstall all covers correctly after you have finished servicing the unit. IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...
Electrical voltage and current from power, telephone, and communication cables are hazardous. To avoid a shock hazard: v Connect power to this unit only with the IBM provided power cord. Do not use the IBM provided power cord for any other product.
If unsafe conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards are and whether you can continue before you correct the problem. Before you start the safety inspection, make sure that the power is off, and that the power cord is disconnected. IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...
Each device has required safety items installed to protect users and IBM service personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. Important: Good judgment must also be used to identify potential safety hazards due to the attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by this inspection guide.
To conduct the internal device check, perform the following steps: 1. Check for any non-IBM changes that might have been made to the device. If any are present, obtain the “Non-IBM Alteration Attachment Survey,” form number R009, from the IBM branch office.
10. If redundant ac power is not used, test the grounding continuity between a conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on the plug of the uninterruptible power-supply input-power cable. 11. If redundant ac power is used, test the grounding continuity between a conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on the plug of the main power cable of the redundant ac-power switch.
Do not place the device onto the cover of the SAN Volume Controller or onto a metal table. v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather because heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity. IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...

Follow the procedures in "Deleting a node from a cluster" in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide to delete the node from the cluster and then add it back into the cluster. If more than one node has failed, ensure that the node is added back into its original I/O group.
For example, to write the machine serial number to the system board when the serial number is “13-FEDCB” and the node name is “ZYXW3,” you would issue the following command: writesernum –sernum 13FEDCB ZYXW3 Note: The node will restart as soon as the serial number has been written to it. Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8A4 system board All the components that were removed when you removed the system board are reused during the installation of the new system board.

If more than one node has failed, ensure that the node is added back into its original I/O group. v If any other message is shown on the front panel, use MAP 5000 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide to resolve the problem.

Note: It is essential that you perform all the stages of the next step to ensure that the replacement system is set to the serial number of the original machine. Failure to do this might invalidate the customer's warranty or service agreement. 19.

578. Follow the procedures in "Deleting a node from a cluster" in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide to delete the node from the cluster and then add it back into the cluster. If more than one node has failed, ensure that the node is added back into its original I/O group.
I/O access when the other node is turned off and when the redundant ac-power switch is removed. If you have had to perform this operation, pay particular attention to checking when it is safe to turn off the second node. See MAP 5350 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide.
Replacing the redundant ac-power switch Use this topic when you need to replace a redundant ac-power switch. The redundant ac-power switch FRU assembly includes the redundant ac-power switch and the input power cables. They should all be replaced together. These instructions assume that a redundant ac-power switch has been removed and the one or two nodes that were connected to it are powered off.
11. Test the redundant ac-power switch before connecting it to the 2145 UPS-1U, using MAP 5340 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide. 12. Connect the one or two 2145 UPS-1U units that are powered by this redundant ac-power switch. The power cables should still be plugged into the 2145 UPS-1U units.
Removing and replacing the 2145 UPS-1U power cable-retention bracket The 2145 UPS-1U power cable-retention bracket prevents accidental removal of the power cable that connects the 2145 UPS-1U to the SAN Volume Controller node. Note: The 2145 UPS-1U power cable-retention bracket (shown in Figure 305) can be attached only to the most recent versions of the 2145 UPS-1U.
Before you remove the 2145 UPS-1U, read all safety notices. Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice, such as (C003) for example, to find the matching translated notice in IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Safety Notices. DANGER Uninterruptible power supply units contain specific hazardous materials.
Attention: Check to make sure that the SAN Volume Controller that is powered by this 2145 UPS-1U is shut down and turned off, prior to step 1. See MAP 5350 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide.
6. Disconnect the internal battery connector, which is circled in Figure 311. Figure 311. The 2145 UPS-1U internal-battery connector 7. After pulling the two connectors apart, cover the exposed battery connector (shown in Figure 312 on page 309) with adhesive tape. IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...
You can replace the 2145 UPS-1U only after you remove the previous uninterruptible power supply. Use the reference numbers in parentheses at the end of each notice, such as (C003) for example, to find the matching translated notice in IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Safety Notices.

3. Stand at the front of the rack and place the back of the 2145 UPS-1U onto the support rails, and then slide the 2145 UPS-1U into the rack. 4. At the front of the 2145 UPS-1U, install the two mounting screws ( 1 in Figure 315 on page 311). IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...
Figure 315. Mounting screws for the 2145 UPS-1U 5. Remove the 2145 UPS-1U front panel by pulling it towards you and to the left, as shown in Figure 316. Note: If you are having difficulty pulling the right side of the panel free from the 2145 UPS-1U, insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the right side of the cover and the frame and gently pry it free.
Only SAN Volume Controller nodes can be plugged in to the 2145 UPS-1U or else the SAN Volume Controller cluster malfunctions. You must attach only one SAN Volume Controller to the 2145 UPS-1U, and nothing else. IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide...
