Replacing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller
2145-8F2 top cover
This topic describes how to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller
2145-8F2 top cover.
Important: Before you turn on the node, replace the cover for proper cooling and airflow. Operating the
node for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage
components.
Important: Before you slide the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on both the front, rear, and
side of the cover engage the chassis correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will be
very difficult to remove the cover later.
Perform the following steps to replace the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller
2145-8F2 top cover:
1. Position the internal cables so that they do not interfere with the cover installation.
2. Position the cover on top of the node and slide it forward.
3. Press down on the cover release latch 3, which is shown in Figure 72 on page 85, until the cover
properly engages all the inset tabs on the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2.
