Hot Changing a Dylan HD PSU ModuleThere are two identical power supply modules fitted in the rear of theenclosure. The fans within these units are independent of the actual moduleand the fans in both PSU modules will remain operational even if one PSUmodule fails.If the PSU module or its fans fail the module should be left in place until areplacement is available. The unit must not be run without both PSUmodules fitted.☛Warning energy hazards are exposed if either PSU Module is removed.A Removing a PSU Module with the Power OnOnce a replacementunit is available thefaulty unit can beremoved from theenclosure.iRemove the mains cable from the PSU unit.ii Unscrew and remove the single retaining screw.iii Press the retention latch to the left and pull the module out of theenclosure using the handle.iv Carefully remove the PSU Module form the enclosure and placecarefully in a safe place.2116-58-030 A Quantel Installation Manual 07 9MaintenancePSURetainingScrewRetention Latch

B Fitting a PSU Module with the Power OnCarefully slide the PSU Module into the enclosure until the retention latchclicks into place then secure using the single screw as shown in the diagramabove.☞Caution: Ensure that the connector is not damaged during handlingand is free from any contamination (such as packing material).Hot Changing a Dylan HD Disk CarrierThe unit contains 12 identical disk carriers which contain both data andparity information. Once the unit has been used to store data the position ofthe disk carriers in the enclosure must not be changed otherwise the dataand parity information will become corrupt.If a single disk carrier becomes faulty (indicated by its amber LED being litcontinuously) it can be changed while the unit is running with a replacementdisk carrier. When a new disk carrier is installed the unit will recreate thecorrect data on that disk using the data and parity information from the other11 disk carriers.If more than 1 disk carrier indicates a fault advise should be obtained andunder no circumstances should a disk carrier be changed without instructionfrom Quantel. A multiple disk fault may indicate an underlying problem thatcan be solved without replacing disk carriers.☞Caution: Changing more than 1 disk at a time will cause permanent andirreparable data corruption.07 10 Maintenance 04/01 2116-58-030 AMaintenance
