8.1.2 Replacement of SCSI hard disk drive during operation
!
Never pull out a hard disk during operation if you are not sure that the hard disk is
operated on a disk array controller and is part of a disk array that operated in the mode
RAID Level 1 or 5.
!
Only if the orange indicator on the hard disk carrier remains bright may the hard disk be
replaced while the system is in operation.
If you replace an hard disk during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê
Pull out the hard disk indicated as defective a few centimeters.
Ê
Wait at least 60 seconds so that the Disk Array Controller can recognize that a hard disk has
been removed and also so that the hard disk can come to rest.
Ê
Pull the hard disk completely out.
Ê
Insert the new hard disk.
