Remove a Flash Module

Before You Begin

If you plan to remove the AC power cords from the system, before you do so, note which FMod the Common Array Manager (CAM) software identified as faulted so you can locate it during replacement. Once AC power has been removed from the system, the LED on the faulty FMod will not be illuminated.

1. Place the system in active-standby mode as described in Place the System in Active-Standby Power Mode.
2. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.

   Refer to Perform Static Discharge Procedures.

3. Slide the chassis forward so that you can remove the top chassis cover.

   Refer to Extend the Chassis to the Maintenance Position.

4. Remove the top chassis cover.

   Refer to Access Internal Components.

5. Identify the faulty FMod by looking at the LED on the top center of each FMod.

   If an amber LED is on, the component is faulty and should be replaced.

   Note - If AC power is removed from the system, the LEDs will not illuminate. In this case, refer to the Common Array Manager (CAM) software messaging to determine which FMod faulted.
