Removing and Installing a Fibre Channel ServerNet Adapter
Removing the FCSA
Note: Whenever you handle a FCSA, follow standard operating practices to avoid damage to the
equipment. Review the standard operating practices documented in the Fibre Channel
ServerNet Adapter Installation and Support Guide .
Find the group, module, and slot of the IOAM in which the FCSA is installed.
1.
Tag the fibre-channel cables connected to the FCSA with physical labels, preferably at both
cable ends. The labels should include:
A description of the equipment and connector to which the cables are to be connected
●
The slot location of the FCSA to which the cable is connected
●
2.
Disconnect the fibre-channel cables one at a time by squeezing the plastic retaining clip at the
end of the cable and gently pulling.
3.
Protect the equipment from electrostatic discharge:
Place an antistatic table mat on a flat horizontal work surface near the IOAM enclosure.
a.
Put on an ESD wrist strap.
b.
Attach the grounding clip from the ESD wrist strap to any unpainted metal surface on
the IOAM enclosure or on the rack in which the enclosure is installed.
Caution: Do not attach the ESD grounding clip to doors or to any painted surface.
c.
4.
Press down on the ejector to unseat the adapter. The adapter must be pulled at least two inches
out of its slot to be unseated. If the adapter is not unseated far enough, a long connector pin in
the midplane can still be engaged with the FCSA. This will make some software behave as
though the FCSA is still in its slot, but broken.
5.
Grasp the FCSA by its ejector in one hand and slowly pull the FCSA part way out of the slot.
6.
Grasp the FCSA by its handle while supporting the bottom edge of the FCSA with the other
hand and pull the FCSA the rest of the way out of the slot.
Note: The FCSA weighs approximately 7.25 pounds (3 kilograms).
7.
Place the FCSA on the antistatic mat.
