7.6.4 Replacing Internal Hard Disk Unit at Failure
(Only for array configurations)
If an array system is configured (RAID1), replacing a hard disk unit and performing recovery operations
are possible for the internal hard disk unit during failure without turning off the power source of the
server and the peripheral devices (hot swappable/hot pluggable).
For details on the replacement method, refer to "Integrated Mirroring SAS User's Guide" in the Array
Controller Document & Tool CD.
The following shows the procedures of inserting and removing the internal hard disk unit.
1
Check the hard disk failure LED on each bay.
2
Touch a metal part of the server to discharge static electricity.
3
Hold the handle up while pressing the front tab on the defective hard disk unit,
pull the hard disk unit from 1 to 3cm forward, and disconnect it from the SAS
connector.
Do not fully pull the hard disk unit out of the server.
4
Wait for a minute or longer (until the motor on the hard disk unit stops rotating),
then pull out the defective hard disk unit.
5
Insert a new internal hard disk unit.
Insert the internal hard disk unit into the bay with the handle up, and then hold the handle down
to fix it tightly.
6
Check the status using RAID Management Tool.
For details, refer to "Integrated Mirroring SAS User's Guide" in the Array Controller Document
& Tool CD.
For onboard array controller, rebuilding needs to be executed using RAID Management Tool.
