Removing an expansion canister: 2145-92F
You can remove the expansion canisters in a 2145-92F expansion enclosure.
Before you begin
Important: You can remove an expansion canister without powering off the expansion enclosure.
However, to maintain operating temperature, perform the following tasks.
• Do not remove a faulty expansion canister until its replacement is ready to be installed.
• Do not remove an expansion canister from an operational enclosure for more than approximately 10
minutes. The reduction in airflow through the enclosure might cause the enclosure or its components to
shut down to protect from overheating.
About this task
An expansion canister provides SAS connectivity between the 2145-92F expansion enclosure and SAN
Volume Controller system. If either of the two expansion canisters has a failure, the other expansion
canister assumes the full I/O load. Figure 118 on page 109 shows the features of an expansion enclosure.
