Remove an I/O Module

  1. When Guided Maintenance prompts you to remove the component, label and disconnect the SAS interface cables that are attached to the I/O module.
    After replacing the I/O module, you will be required to restore the SAS interface connectors to the same configuration as prior to replacement.
