(D005)
Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a
soft material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents. Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.
v Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an
electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.
v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
Safety and environmental notices xv
v Disconnect all power before the following activities:
– Performing a mechanical inspection
– Working near power supplies
– Removing or installing main units
v Before you start to work on the unit, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer
to power off the wall box that supplies power to the device and to lock the wall box in the off position.
v If you need to work on a device that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
– Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.
Remember: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.
– Use only one hand when working with electrical equipment that has the power turned on; keep the
other hand in your pocket or behind your back.
Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the previous rule, you might prevent a current from passing through your body.
– When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for
that tester.
– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as
metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

Ensure that you perform an internal device check before you install or service SAN Volume Controller.
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. Complete the form and return it to the branch office.
2. Check the condition of the inside of the device for any metal or other contaminants, or any
indications of water, other fluid, fire, or smoke damage.
3. Check for any obvious mechanical problems, such as loose components.
4. Check any exposed cables and connectors for wear, cracks, or pinching.

Checking the grounding of SAN Volume Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the redundant ac-power switch

Ensure that you understand how to check the grounding of a SAN Volume Controller, the uninterruptible power supply, and the optional redundant ac-power switch feature.
To test the grounding of a SAN Volume Controller node, perform the following steps. Follow the steps for the SAN Volume Controller configuration that you are using. Before you start, confirm that you know the SAN Volume Controller model type, the uninterruptible power-supply type, and whether you are using redundant ac power. Determine the location of the signal cables that are attached to the SAN Volume Controller.
When you are asked to test the grounding continuity, use your local procedures to perform the test. The test is successful if the measured resistance is 0.1 ohm or less.
Attention: Some electrical circuits can be damaged if the external signal cables are present at the SAN Volume Controller while it is undergoing a grounding test.
1. Ensure that the SAN Volume Controller node is powered off. See MAP 5350: Powering off a SAN
Volume Controller node in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide.
2. If the uninterruptible power supply is a 2145 UPS, ensure that other SAN Volume Controller nodes
that are powered from the uninterruptible power supply are powered off.
3. Use the power button to power off the uninterruptible power supply.
4. Disconnect all signal cables from the SAN Volume Controller node, which includes the following
cables:
v The Fibre Channel cables
v The Ethernet cable or cables
v The serial cable that is connected to the uninterruptible power supply
5. Disconnect all signal cables from the uninterruptible power supply. If the uninterruptible power
supply is a 2145 UPS, there might be multiple signal cables.
6. If the uninterruptible power supply is a 2145 UPS, disconnect any power cables that are connected to
SAN Volume Controller nodes, except the one that is being tested.
7. If redundant ac power is not used, disconnect the uninterruptible power-supply power cable from
the site power-distribution unit.
8. If redundant ac power is used, turn off any SAN Volume Controller that is being supplied from the
redundant ac-power switch, and remove the power cable to this system from the redundant ac-power switch.
9. If redundant ac power is used, disconnect both input power leads from the site power distribution
units.
xviii IBM SAN Volume Controller Hardware Maintenance Guide
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. If the test is successful, test the grounding continuity between a conductive area on the SAN Volume Controller frame and the ground pin on the plug of the backup power cable of the redundant ac-power switch. Both tests must be successful.
12. After you have completed testing the grounding continuity, perform one of the following procedures,
depending on the outcome of the test.
v If the test is successful, reconnect any cables that were removed, and power on any
uninterruptible power-supply units and SAN Volume Controller nodes that were powered off.
v If the test was not successful, ensure that all cables are securely connected. If the test still fails, test
the individual system components. Before you test the individual components, remove all cables from the components. If any component test fails, replace the component. After each component has been tested and the failing ones have been replaced, repeat the complete system test by returning to step 1 on page xviii.
Test the components in the following order:
a. The SAN Volume Controller node, from the frame to the ground pin of the input power
receptacle
b. The uninterruptible power supply from the ground pin of the input power receptacle to the
ground conductor of the output power receptacle
c. If used, the redundant ac-power switch from the ground pin of the main input power
receptacle to the ground conductor of the output power receptacle, and from the ground pin of the backup input power receptacle to the ground conductor of the output power receptacle
d. The SAN Volume Controller node to uninterruptible power-supply power-cable assembly,
between the two ground conductors of the power cable
e. The uninterruptible power-supply input-power cable, between the two ground conductors of
the power cable
f. If used, the redundant ac-power switch main input-power cable, between the two ground
conductors of the cable
g. If used, the redundant ac-power switch backup input-power cable, between the two ground
conductors of the cable

Inspecting the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions

Ensure that you take the time to inspect the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions.
Consider the following conditions and their potential safety hazards:
Electrical hazards (especially primary power)
Primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or lethal electrical shock.
Explosive hazards
A bulging capacitor can cause serious injury.
Mechanical hazards
Loose or missing items (for example, nuts and screws) can cause serious injury.
Use caution when working in a potential safety hazard that is not covered in the safety checks. If unsafe conditions are present, determine how serious the hazards are and whether you can continue before you correct the problem.
Safety and environmental notices xix
Using the following inspection checklist as a guide, inspect the uninterruptible power supply for unsafe conditions. If necessary, see any suitable safety publications.
1. If any equipment has been damaged during the shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing
materials.
2. To file a claim for the shipping damage, perform the following steps:
a. File with the carrier within fifteen days of receipt of the equipment.
b. Send a copy of the damage claim within fifteen days to your service support representative.

Uninterruptible power-supply requirements

Ensure that you comply with the requirements for the uninterruptible power supply.
The following list describes requirements for the 2145 UPS-1U:
v The voltage that is supplied to the 2145 UPS-1U must be 200-240 V single phase.
v The frequency that is supplied must be 50 or 60 Hz.
Note: The 2145 UPS-1U has an integrated circuit breaker and does not need external protection.
Attention:
v If the uninterruptible power supply is cascaded from another uninterruptible power supply, the source
uninterruptible power supply must have at least three times the capacity per phase and the total harmonic distortion must be less than 5%.
v The uninterruptible power supply also must have input voltage capture that has a slew rate of no
more than 3 Hz per second.

Emergency power-off shutdown

The SAN Volume Controller and each uninterruptible power supply support emergency power-off (EPO) shutdowns.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Ensure that you understand how to handle devices that are sensitive to static electricity.
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bags until you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or frame.
v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.
v While the device is still in its antistatic bag, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for
at least two seconds. (This action removes static electricity from the package and from your body.)
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your SAN Volume Controller, without
putting it down. If it is necessary to put the device down, place it onto its static-protective bag. (If your device is an adapter, place it component-side up.) 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.

Redundant ac-power switch parts

There is a single field-replaceable unit (FRU) assembly for the redundant ac power feature. It consists of the switch and two input-power cables.
The redundant ac-power switch is an optional feature that makes the SAN Volume Controller nodes resilient to the failure of a single power circuit. The redundant ac-power switch is not a replacement for an uninterruptible power supply. You must still use a uninterruptible power supply for each node.
Figure 7 shows the redundant ac-power switch.

Chapter 2. Removing and replacing parts

You can remove and replace field-replaceable units (FRUs) from the SAN Volume Controller, redundant ac-power switch, and uninterruptible power supply.
Each FRU has its own removal procedure. Sometimes you can find that a step within a procedure might refer you to a different remove/replace procedure. You might want to complete the new procedure before you continue with the first procedure that you started.
Remove or replace parts only when you are directed to do so by the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide. Start all problem determination and repair procedures with MAP 5000.

Enabling concurrent maintenance

To allow concurrent maintenance, SAN Volume Controllers must be configured in pairs.
While one SAN Volume Controller is being serviced, the other keeps the I/O group operational. With concurrent maintenance, all field-replaceable units (FRUs) can be removed, replaced, and tested on one SAN Volume Controller while the SAN and host systems are powered on and doing productive work.
Attention: Do not remove the power from both SAN Volume Controllers unless the procedures instruct you to do so.
Perform the following checks to verify that concurrent maintenance is enabled.
It is particularly important to perform these checks if a node contains solid-state drives (SSDs) because volumes on the SSDs might not be mirrored.
1. Confirm that no hosts have dependencies on the node.
When shutting down a node that is part of a system or when deleting the node from a system, you can use either the management GUI or a command-line interface (CLI) command. In the management GUI, click System Status. Click the correct node and click Manage to display all the volumes that are dependent on a node. You can also use the node parameter with the lsdependentvdisks CLI command to view dependent volumes.
If dependent volumes exist, determine if the volumes are being used. If the volumes are being used, either restore the redundant configuration or suspend the host application. If a dependent quorum disk is reported, repair the access to the quorum disk or modify the quorum disk configuration.
2. Ensure that the host multipathing device drivers can fail over to the partner node.
Some host multipathing device drivers take a while to update after changes are made on the fabric. Do not shut down a node or delete the node from a cluster if the partner node in the I/O group to which the node belongs has not been online for more than 30 minutes.
If possible, check the status of the host multipathing device drivers before shutting down a node to ensure that the device drivers can fail over to the partner node.
When shutting down the node, see MAP 5350 in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide for a description of how to check for dependencies on the node during the procedure to turn off the node.
When deleting a node from the cluster, see "Deleting a node from a cluster using the management GUI" in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Troubleshooting Guide for a description of node

Preparing to remove and replace parts

Before you remove and replace parts, you must be aware of all safety issues.
|
First, read the safety precautions in the IBM System Storage SAN Volume Controller Safety Notices. These guidelines help you safely work with the SAN Volume Controller, redundant ac-power switch, and uninterruptible power supply.

Working inside the node with the power on

When you are servicing the SAN Volume Controller node, you might need to turn on the node while the cover is off.
Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal components when the node is turned on might cause the node to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the node with the power on.
You might be instructed to turn on the node and look at system-board LEDs while the cover is off. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a node that is turned on:
v Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before working
inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the node.
v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the node.
v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist watches.
v Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall into the node as you
lean over it.
v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws, into the node.

Replacing the SAN Volume Controller in a rack

You must use caution when you replace the SAN Volume Controller in a rack.
Note: If you have recently replaced a field-replaceable unit (FRU) in the node, the repaired node normally rejoins the cluster as soon as it is powered-on and has completed its self-tests. There are some exceptions to this, such as when a disk drive has been replaced, or when for some other reason the node has lost its identity or the integrity of its cluster metadata. Under these circumstances, the node goes offline. If you are performing this repair under fix procedures, those procedures will automatically restore the node to the cluster. If you are not performing the repair under fix procedures, you might be required to delete and add the node back into the cluster.
