Installing Spares
Your Hitachi Simple Modular Storage 100 contains two compartments that
can accommodate spare drives. The array's hot-swappable feature enables
you to add the drives without shutting down or turning off your Hitachi
Simple Modular Storage 100.
To install a spare drive, you need:
• A new drive that meets the requirements in step 2 below.
• A server connected to the management port of your Hitachi Simple
Modular Storage 100.
Before You Begin
Before you begin, observe the following guidelines:
• The new drive(s) must be the same type (SATA or SAS) as the others in
your Hitachi Simple Modular Storage 100.
• The new drive(s) must have the same capacity as the other drives in
your Hitachi Simple Modular Storage 100.
• Wear a wrist strap attached to chassis ground when performing this
procedure.
Checking for Defective Drives
Before installing a spare drive, use Storage Navigator 2 to see whether any
of the other drives are defective.
1. Start a Web browser and launch Storage Navigator 2.
2. Log in to Storage Navigator 2:
