Technical data

13. Disconnect the front bezel flex harness by gently opening the zero insertion force

(ZIF) socket.

NOTE The ZIF socket is very fragile and is easily broken. Either use your fingers or

a screwdriver to gently pull the ZIF socket open.

14. Remove the four screws holding the front bezel to the controller canister with a

phillips screwdriver.

NOTE The front bezel can suddenly pop loose and cause damage to either the front

bezel flex harness or the zero insertion force (ZIF) socket that is attached to the

controller card. Make sure that you gently angle the front bezel away from the

controller canister to allow access to the HIC.

15. Remove the front bezel from the controller canister, carefully working it from

side-to-side until you can slide it off and gain access to the HIC.

16. Loosen the HIC thumbscrews that secure the HIC to the controller card.

NOTE If the thumbscrews were overtightened, you can use a phillips screwdriver to

help you loosen them.

17. Gently disengage the HIC from the controller card, and remove the HIC.

NOTE The connector is located on the edge of the HIC next to the thumbscrews.

NOTE You must place the HIC in the same location in the new controller canister,

being careful not to scratch or bump any of the components on the bottom of the HIC

or the top of the controller card.

18. If you are changing the HIC type, remove the HIC subplate.

19. Place the HIC that you removed on a static-free surface.

Installing the Host

Interface Card in the

E2600 Controller-Drive

Tray

NOTE Make sure that you have the correct host interface cards, Small Form-factor

Pluggable (SFP) transceivers, and host bus adapters, host channel adapters, or Ethernet

adapters. Because you are replacing one host interface card (HIC) with a potentially

different type of HIC, you might not be able to reuse the SFP transceivers. For more

information, refer to the Hardware Cabling Guide.

1. Install the new HIC by gently connecting the HIC to the HIC interface connector.

2. Install and tighten the four HIC thumbscrews that secure the HIC to the controller

card.
