Safety Precautions
Always follow these safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to the enclosure.

Electrical Safety Precautions

Always follow electrical safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to the enclosure.

Warning: Disconnect power from the enclosure when removing or installing

components that are not hot-swappable. When disconnecting power, first power
down the controller(s) and enclosure(s) using the Storage Center System Manager
and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply/cooling fan modules in
the enclosure.

Know the locations of the equipment power switches and the room's emergency power-
off switch, disconnection switch, or electrical outlet.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as
electrical insulators.

Dell Compellent 7
Chapter 2 Replacing SC200/220 Components

The power supply power cord must include a grounding prong and must be plugged into
grounded electrical outlets.

General Safety Precautions

Always follow general safety precautions to avoid injury and damage to the enclosure.

Warning: To avoid injury, do not attempt to the lift the enclosure by yourself. Always
get assistance when lifting the enclosure.

Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.
Place the chassis cover and any system components that have been removed away
from the enclosure or on a table so that they are not in the way of foot traffic.
While working on the enclosure, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be
pulled into a cooling fan.
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body because they are excellent metal
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with
printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

Caution: To ensure proper enclosure cooling, hard drive blanks must be installed in
any hard drive bay that is not occupied.

After you are done accessing the inside of the enclosure, close the cover and secure
the enclosure to the rack with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections
have been made.

Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Always follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions to avoid injury and damage to the
enclosure.
ESD is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with
each other. The resulting electrical discharge can damage electronic components and
printed circuit boards.
It is recommended that you always use a static mat and static strap while working on
components in the interior of the enclosure.
Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in modules and
components.
Use a suitable ESD wrist or ankle strap.
Avoid contact with backplane components and module connectors.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until
ready for use.

Pre-Replacement Procedures
Before replacing a FRU in the SC200 and SC220 enclosures, perform a Phone Home and
contact Dell Technical Support Services. In addition, if the FRU is not hot-swappable, the
controller(s) and enclosure(s) must be shut down.

Replacing Power Supply/Cooling Fan Modules

The SC200 and SC220 enclosures support two 700 W AC hot-swappable power supply/
cooling fan modules. The fans that cool the enclosure and the power supplies are
integrated into a module and cannot be replaced separately. If one module fails, the second
module continues to provide power to the enclosure.

Note: When a power supply/cooling fan module fails, the fan speed in the remaining
module increases significantly to provide adequate cooling. The fan speed
decreases gradually when a new power supply/cooling fan module is installed.

Identifying the Failed Power Supply/Cooling Fan Module

To determine which power supply/cooling fan module failed, use the Storage Center
System Manager.
