Disk Drives
The following procedure is used for disks in both the controller enclosure and
the disk enclosure.
Removing a Disk Drive
Caution Do not operate the array for more than 5 minutes with a disk
drive or filler panel removed. Either a disk drive or filler panel
must be installed in the slot to maintain proper airflow.
1 Push down the release tab ( Figure 34 , 1) and pull up the cam lever (2).
Caution Wait 15 seconds for the disk drive to stop spinning before fully
removing it from the array enclosure. Removing a disk drive
while it is spinning may cause damage to the disk spindle
bearings.
2 Pull the disk drive (3) out of the slot.
Installing a Disk Drive
1 Push down the release tab ( Figure 34 , 1) and pull up the cam lever (2).
2 Push the disk drive (3) firmly into the slot.
3 Push down the cam lever until it clicks into place to secure the disk drive.
Note An exchange disk drive comes formatted with 512-byte sectors.
After installation, the controller starts the Auto Format process to
automatically format the disk drive with 520-byte sectors. Table
23 indicates the times required for formatting the different
capacity disks. During this time, the green disk activity LED will
be flashing.
