Description
This section demonstrates disassembly procedures for all field
replaceable units (FRUs) and then addresses the specific issues
relevant to reassembly of the CLARiiON CX600 xPE and DAE.

Objectives
The following are the objectives for this exercise:
Disassemble a CLARiiON CX600 xPE and DAE to the FRU level.

Recognize the FRUs for a CLARiiON CX600 xPE and DAE and identify
FRU replacement dependencies.
Completely reassemble a CLARiiON CX600 xPE and DAE to the point
of ready to power up.

Tools/Aids/Materials
The following tools/aids/materials are required to disassemble and reassemble Fibre Channel Disk Enclosures.

FRU

Description

Front Bezel

Front cover of the CX600 chassis.

Power Supply

Coverts AC power to DC and supplies power to the electronics and


disks within the enclosure.

Storage Processor

Processor board for an xPE that provides RAID processing, read


cache, and write cache.

Storage Processor Fan Pack

Removing the Power Supplies


Follow this procedure to remove the power supplies:
Removing the Power Supplies
2.

Make sure the switch on the power supply is in the OFF position, and wait five seconds before
disconnecting the power cable.

3.

CAUTION: The orientation of the two power supplies is different. Pay close attention when
removing a power supply to make sure that you orient it correctly when replacing it.
Release the retaining clip from the power cord and disconnect the cord from the power supply.

4.

Loosen the thumbscrew securing the power supply to the chassis. Notice the securing
mechanism is a latch (see arrow below) and the screw only need be turned about 1 turn to free
the power supply. The icons beside the screw dictate the direction to turn the screw.

CAUTION: The orientation of the two Storage Processors is different. Pay close attention when
removing a Storage Processor to make sure that you orient it correctly when replacing it.
Loosen the two captive thumbscrews that secure the SP to the chassis. This is the same latch
type mechanism as on the power supplies.

3.

Carefully slide the storage processor out of the chassis.

CAUTION: A disk module should not be removed while power is applied unless its amber Check
LED is illuminated. When removing multiple disk modules, wait several seconds between each
removal and verify that the active LEDs of the remaining modules are flickering.
CAUTION: When removing multiple disk modules, make sure to insert the modules into their
original slots in the enclosure. If the disk module is a member of a bound LUN, data on that LUN
may be inaccessible if the drive is replaced in a different slot.
Press the release latch on the drive carrier, and lift the latch up to unlock the carrier from the
chassis.
