IBM SYSTEM STORAGE EXP3000 - INTEROPERABILITY MATRIX 10-19-2010, Manual, Page: 23 / 64

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.
6. Configure the hard disk drive, using the RAID controller management software.
Installing an additional ESM
The EXP3000 comes with one environmental services module (ESM). If your RAID
controller supports redundant drive paths (see the documentation that comes with
the RAID controller or the device that contains the RAID controller), you can install
a second ESM.
To install a second ESM, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page iii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 26.
2. Remove the ESM filler panel from the rightmost ESM bay of the EXP3000:
a. On the left side of the ESM filler panel, 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.
b. Using the handle, gently slide the ESM filler panel out of the EXP3000.
Save the ESM filler panel for future use.
3. Hold the new ESM so that the handle is fully extended.
4. Gently slide the ESM into the bay until it stops. Rotate the handle downward
into the closed position until it clicks.
5. Connect the SAS cable or cables to the ESM. See “Cabling the EXP3000” on
page 12 for more information.
Installing identification labels
The EXP3000 comes with a sheet of numeric ID labels. Using your RAID controller
management software, determine the ID number of the EXP3000, and affix the
applicable label or labels directly above the product label on the right front bezel.
