Exchange the CEC enclosure disk drive

Before you begin

Icon for electrostatic discharge wrist strapUse approved ESD procedures to prevent damage.

Attention:
  • This procedure is not a stand-alone procedure. Customer disruption and damage to the hardware might occur when microcode and power boundaries are not in the proper conditions for this service action.
  • If a serviceable event FRU repair directed you to this procedure, the microcode and power boundaries are already set.
  • If a serviceable event FRU repair did not direct you to this procedure, see MAP1230 Replace a FRU without using a serviceable event.
Notes:
  • All the cables and FRUs to be removed must be uniquely identified so they can be reinstalled correctly.
  • If an installed earthquake resistance kit prevents you from accessing this FRU, refer to MAP1600.

Remove the CEC enclosure disk drive

About this task

Note: The disk drive FRU must be replaced with a different FRU. The FRU verification checks the disk drive serial number and will fail if the original FRU is reinstalled.

Procedure

  1. To locate this FRU, take one of the following actions and then return here and continue to replace the FRU:
    • If this FRU has a FRU identify indicator, use the FRU identify indicator, which is listed in MAP1240 Locating FRUs by using identify indicators. If not, use the location code.
      Note: There might be cases where the FRU failure or fencing conditions prevent the FRU LED indicator from being lit even if the FRU has power.
    • Use the location code shown in Figure 3 or refer to MAP1245 Finding FRUs by using location codes.
      Figure 1. CEC enclosure location codes (front view)

    • If there is no FRU identify indicator or location code, you were sent here by an isolation MAP or symbolic FRU procedure. Use the information in that procedure and the figures in this procedure to locate the proper part to exchange.
  2. Most, but not all, FRUs have identify indicators. Use the flashing amber or solid blue FRU identify indicators to ensure that you are working on the correct enclosure or FRU.
  3. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
  4. Remove the new drive from the static-protective package and place it on an ESD mat.
  5. To remove the old drive, unlock the drive bay handle Callout label B by pressing the handle latch Callout label A and pulling it out toward you, as shown in Figure 2. If the handle is not all the way out, the drive cannot slide out of the system.

  6. Support the bottom of the drive as you slide it out of the system. Hold the drive by its sides.

Install the CEC enclosure disk drive

Procedure

  1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
  2. Unlock the drive bay handle Callout label A by pressing it and pulling it out toward you. If the handle is not all the way out, the drive does not slide into the system. See Figure 3.
  3. Hold the drive by the top and bottom edges as you position the drive, and insert it into the drive slot.
  4. Slide the drive all the way into the system, and push the drive carrier handle Callout label A in until it locks, as shown in Figure 3.
    Note: Ensure that the drive is fully seated and is all the way into the system.
