Hard-Disk Drive Hot Swap Feature
A hot swap button is located on the front panel of each hard-disk drive. Pressing the hot swap
button allows you to hot swap hard-disk drives if you have configured and enabled RAID-1, and
the drive you are replacing is not being actively used by your IP1280.
For more information about RAID-1, including configuration details, see
Implementing Disk
Mirroring or RAID on a Network Security Appliance,
which is available at the Check Point
Support Center at

.
Caution
Hard-disk drives are susceptible to damage from shock. Handle them with care.
Caution
To protect the IP1280 and the memory modules from electrostatic discharge damage,
make sure you are properly grounded before you touch these components. Use a
grounding wrist strap and follow the instructions provided with the wrist strap before
you handle the components or open the appliance. The grounding plug on the front of
the appliance (shown in
Figure 1
on page 17) provides a chassis grounding point. If
you do not have a grounding wrist strap, make sure you are properly grounded before
you touch any electronic component.
Caution
If you fail to use the following procedure when you remove the
hard-disk drive, the drive might become damaged or you might lose data.
