Hot pluggable hard disk drives Handling HDD modules
Replacing the HDD module
If you want to replace a hot pluggable HDD module during operation, proceed
as follows:
Ê
Pull out the HDD module a few centimeters.
V
CAUTION!
Under no circumstances should you remove an HDD module while
the system is in operation if you are not sure whether the hard disk
drive is operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array
which is operating at RAID level 1.
Only remove a hot pluggable HDD module during operation if the
drive is not currently being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for
the corresponding HDD module (see
“Hot pluggable hard disk drive
indicators” on page 52 ).
Ê
Wait for at least 60 seconds.
I
This period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that an
HDD module has been removed and for the hard disk drive to come
to a stop.
Ê
Pull out the HDD module fully.
Ê
Insert the new HDD module as described under “Unlocking an HDD module”
on page 73 and “Installing the HDD module” on page 74 .
V
CAUTION!
If you have removed an HDD module and not replaced it with another
one, you must insert the dummy unit again due to cooling requirements,
the applicable EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations and for
fire protection. Ensure that the dummy unit engages correctly in the slot.
