IBM SYSTEM STORAGE EXP3000 - INTEROPERABILITY MATRIX 10-19-2010, Manual, Page: 41 / 64

b. Pull out the tray handle to the open position.
c. Slide the drive partially out of the bay and wait at least 20 seconds before
you remove the drive from the EXP3000. This enables the drive to spin
down and avoids possible damage to the drive.
d. Make sure that there is proper identification (such as a label) on the hard
disk drive; then, gently slide it completely out of the EXP3000. If the drive
has failed, indicate that on the label.
5. Install the new hard disk drive:
a. Gently push the drive into the empty bay until the drive stops.
b. Push the tray handle to the right into the closed (latched) position.
6. Check the hard disk drive LEDs:
v
When the drive is ready for use, the green activity LED and the amber status
LED are off.
v If the amber status LED is lit and not flashing, remove the drive from the unit
and wait 10 seconds; then, reinstall the drive. If the status LED is flashing,
the drive is rebuilding.
Controller management information: In some cases, the RAID controller automatically
resets the drive to the Hot Spare or Rebuild state. If the drive state does not change
automatically (the amber LED stays lit), see your RAID controller management
documentation for information about manually changing the state of the drive from the
current state to another state, such as Hot Spare or Ready. The amber LED should turn off
within 10 seconds after the drive state changes.
Replacing an ESM
If you are replacing the only ESM in the EXP3000, you must turn off power to the
EXP3000 before you replace the ESM. Refer to the documentation that comes with
your RAID controller for additional information and instructions.
To replace an ESM, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page iii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 26.
2. If the EXP3000 contains only one ESM, turn off the power to the EXP3000.
For more information, see “Turning off the EXP3000” on page 22.
3. Disconnect the SAS cable from the ESM.
4. On the left side of the ESM, press the orange release tab to the right just
enough to release the handle (no more than 6 mm [0.25 in.]) as you rotate the
handle upward.
