Replacing a Hard Drive
Replacing a Hard Drive
The front panel provides access to ten drive carrier bays, which are populated by two SSD
drives and four SATA hard drives; leaving four of the drive bays empty.
The hard drives are hot swappable, meaning that you do not have to halt and shutdown the
unit when replacing a single drive.
Complete instructions for removing and replacing a hard drive are provided in the
“Installing Drives” section of the
SuperServer 1028U Series User’s Manual
.
Replacing a Power Supply Module
The rear panel provides access to two redundant 750 watt power supply modules. They
automatically sense the input voltage between 100
V to 240
V, and operate at that voltage.
An amber light on the power supply is illuminated when the power is switched off. An
green light indicates that the power supply is operating.
If either of the power supply modules fail, the other module supports the full load and
allows the system to operate without interruption. The unit’s
Power
light, located in the
front control panel, illuminates when a power supply failure is identified.
Complete instructions for removing and replacing a power supply are provided in the
“Power Supply” section of the
SuperServer 1028U Series User’s Manual
.
Replacing a System Fan
A series of eight fans provide the cooling for the system by circulating the air through the
inside of the chassis.
If a fan fails, the system continues to operate and the remaining fans ramp up to
compensate for the faulty fan. If the system detects that a fan is inoperable, the
Information
light on the unit’s front control panel begins to blink red. In such a case, we
recommend replacing the fan at your earliest convenience.
Complete instructions for removing and replacing a fan are provided in the “System Fan
Replacement” section of the
SuperServer 1028U Series User’s Manual
.
WARNING
- Hot swap fan
The fans might still be turning when you remove the fan assembly
from the chassis. Keep fingers, screwdrivers, and other objects away
from the openings in the fan assembly's housing.
