Removing the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 or SAN Volume Controller
2145-8F2 adapter assemblies
The SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 contains two types of Fibre Channel adapters that are functionally
identical but not interchangeable. The SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 contains a single 4-Port adapter
in PCI slot 2.
Figure 176 shows the rear view of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F2 with the two Fibre Channel ports
identified:
1
PCI slot 1 - contains a dual port Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) in a low profile
2
PCI slot 2 - contains a dual port Fibre Channel HBA at full height
Figure 177 shows the rear view of the SAN Volume Controller 2145-8F4 with the 4-port Fibre Channel
HBA identified:
1
PCI slot 2 - contains a 4-port Fibre Channel HBA
Perform the following steps to remove a Fibre Channel adapter assembly:
