Stephane,
There are going to be two parts to this answer. First let me ask you; do you already have additional shelves on the FAS270?
If the answer is yes, then this can be preformed as a non-disruptive upgrade. Assuming that the newly introduced shelves meet all of the necessary conditions (no existing ownership being the primary concern) and your loop is not already at its limits.
If the answer is no, then you are going to need to halt the head (not the cluster if it is a FAS270C), and change the termination switch on the head. In the case that there are no additional shelves attached to the head(s), the termination switch will be set to on. The FAS270 is not auto terminating, thus the need for the switch. In the earlier models, it is more of a "dip switch" that you will need to use some type of tool to get at. In later models it is a surface mounted switch that needs no tools.
Keep in mind that as long as you have a cluster license and cluster fail over is enabled, you can still maintain data availability through the partner.
Best of luck to you.
