Replacing the RAID Array Controller

Perform the following procedure to replace the RAID array controller (Figure 3–6):

1.Grip the two locking latches on the front panel of the controller and pull them forward until the controller disengages from its mounting slot.

2.Remove the controller by sliding it forward and free of the pedestal.

3.Insert the replacement controller into the open slot, align the module into the card guides, and gently slide it into the pedestal until the connector engages the backplane connector in the pedestal.

4.Turn the two front panel latches inward to fully seat the controller in the pedestal slot.
