Chapter 3: Hot-Swapping or Installing Disk Drives
This chapter describes how to remove and install disk drives.
Important: The SG810 only supports disk-drive upgrade packages obtained
from Blue Coat Systems, Inc.
An SG810 Appliance has slots for four disk drives. If your original appliance
came with less than four disk drives, upgrade options are available from Blue
Coat. See
Table 4.1 on page 71 .
If you are upgrading your SG810 by adding (not replacing) disk drives, you can
skip to
“Installing a New Disk Drive” on page 66.
Each of the disk drives (including Disk 1) can be removed and replaced
independently, without powering off the SG810— this process is called hot
swapping.
The SG810 will boot from any disk. When you have installed or hot-swapped a
new disk drive, the SG810 recognizes it, initializes it, and starts using it
immediately.
For initial installation of disk drives into a new SG810, see “Installing the Disk
Drives” on page 12.
There are three steps to follow when you hot-swap a disk drive.
• Taking a Disk Offline
• Removing a Disk Drive
• Installing a New Disk Drive
