5.1.3 Replacing a Hard Disk
As soon as the broken hard disk has been identified (see section “Iden-
tifying a Broken Hard Disk” on page 5-4), it can be replaced easily. The
replacement of a broken hard disk can be divided into three steps:
1.
Removing the hard disk from the system.
2.
3.
Reassembling it into the system.
All steps are explained in the following.
Step 1: Removing the Hard Disk
The hard disks that are accessible at the front and rear of the system
are connected to the system with the help of disk carriers. They can be
removed easily, even when the system is running (hot-swappable).
To remove a hard disk from the system perform the following:
1.
If appropriate, stop all accesses to the hard disks of your system,
for example, by exiting software and severing the network con-
nections.
2.
Lift the faceplate of the system (see section “Faceplate” on
page 2-6).
3.
Then, unlatch the disk carrier of the defective hard disk by press-
ing the opener of the disk carrier (1).
This will cause the lever to come out of the disk carrier so that it pro-
trudes from the rest of the disk carriers.
4.
Take the lever and turn it in its hinge (2) until it cannot be moved
further:
Before replacing a hard disk you have to gather the log files of the RAID
controller. If you know how to do this you may proceed on your own. If
not, please contact the R&S DVS service department first.
For an overview of a disk carrier as well as further information about it
see section “Hard Disk Array” on page 2-7 and section “System Disk Ar-
ray” on page 2-12.
