Replacement of the HDD Module During Operation
A hard disk drive module may be swapped in current operation only if the
orange LED on the hard disk drive module lights continuously.
V
CAUTION!
Never pull out a hard disk drive module during operation if you are not
sure that it is operated on a RAID controller and is part of a disk array that
operated in the mode RAID Level 1 or 5.
You proceed as follows to swap an hard disk drive module during current
operation:
Ê
Pull out the hard disk drive module indicated as defective a few centimeters.
Ê
Wait for at least 60 seconds. This period is necessary for the RAID controller
to recognize that a HDD module has been pulled out and for the hard disk
to come to a stop.
Ê
Pull the hard disk drive module completely out.
Ê
Insert the new hard disk drive module.
The SCSI IDs of the hard disk drive modules are permanently assigned (see
section “Addresses for SCSI Devices” on page 83).
