8.1.2 Hot-plug hard disk drives
Up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives can be installed in the
PRIMERGY RX200 S6 server.
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY RX200 S6 are
supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk
drives can be replaced and new hard disk drives can be added during operation.
The hard disk drive and installation frame together make up the HDD module.
V
CAUTION!
●
The hard disk drive must not be removed from the installation frame
by anyone except a service technician.
●
The HDD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they
can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not
done, existing data can be lost.
●
The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a
corresponding RAID configuration.
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can
be found in the RAID controller documentation.
●
Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the
metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.
●
Before removing the unit, turn the power off and wait for about 30
seconds until the disk stops spinning completely.
●
When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise
for a while, but this does not mean a failure.
●
Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for
the hard disk drives. However, disable the write cache for use in this
server. If the power failure should occur while the write cache is
enabled, cached data may be lost.
●
When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out
the data on the drive for your own security.
●
Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To
cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data.
When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make
backups on a file or partition basis.
