Power Supply Units (PSUs)
In the event of a power supply or PSU fan failure, use the following procedure to replace the PSU:
Caution
DO NOT REMOVE THE FAILED PSU until the new PSU has arrived and is ready to be installed. Removing a PSU reduces air flow and cooling and can result in the system overheating.
Procedure
Step 1 Determine which PSU or PSU fan has failed by examining the PSU status LEDs on each module (see Overview of the CPS-SS-4RU and CPS-SS-4RU-EX, Rear Panel (CPS-SS-4RU), or Overview of the CPS-SS-4RU and CPS-SS-4RU-EX, Rear Panel (CPS-SS-4RU-EX)). A red LED indicates the failed module. The Home page of the graphical user interface (GUI) also tells you which unit has failed (see the Software Manual).
Step 2 Remove the power cable from the power cable socket on the PSU where the failure has occurred.
Step 3 Press the spring lock tab away from the edge of the PSU, then carefully remove the PSU from the unit. Support the weight of the PSU with your free hand while removing it.
Figure 5-1 Removing the PSUs from the CPS-SS-4RU or CPS-SS-4RU-EX
Step 4 Make sure that the PSU is right-side up. The yellow spring lock tab should be on the right side.
Step 5 Insert the PSU into the slot and carefully slide it back until the spring lock tab clicks into place.
Figure 5-2 Inserting the PSU
Step 6 Plug the power cable into the power cable socket on the replacement PSU.
The two PSU status LEDs light up green to indicate that the unit is functioning properly and supplying power to the unit.
Step 7 In the graphical user interface (GUI), go to the Home page and verify that the status bar for the new Power Supply Unit is green. See the Software Manual for more information.
RAID Controllers
In the event of a RAID Controller failure, use the following procedures to replace the controller:
Caution
DO NOT REMOVE THE FAILED RAID CONTROLLER until the new RAID Controller has arrived and is ready to be installed. Removing a RAID Controller reduces air flow and cooling and can result in the system overheating.
Procedure
Step 1 Determine which RAID Controller has failed by examining the STAT LED on each module (see Overview of the CPS-SS-4RU and CPS-SS-4RU-EX, Rear Panel (CPS-SS-4RU)). A flashing red LED indicates the failed unit. The Home page of the graphical user interface (GUI) also tells you which unit has failed (see the Software Manual).
Note In some cases, a RAID Controller needs to be replaced even if it has not failed outright. In this case, you must determine which RAID Controller to replace by following the troubleshooting procedures in the Software Manual.
Step 2 Do one of the following:
•If you have a dual-controller unit, navigate to System Admin > Reboot in the graphical user interface (GUI). Under Controller Maintenance, select the controller that has failed, select the confirmation check box, and click Execute NOW.
•If you have a single-controller unit, navigate to System Admin > Reboot in the graphical user interface (GUI), select System Shutdown, select the confirmation check box, and click Execute NOW.
Step 3 Remove all cables from the failed RAID Controller.
Step 4 Press the spring lock tab away from the edge of the controller, then carefully remove the controller from the unit. Support the weight of the controller with your free hand while removing it.
