To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the appliance for more than
two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay.
v
You do not need to switch off the Models 200 and 225 or remove covers to install
or replace hot-swap power supplies or hot-swap hard drives.
v
Back up all important data before you make changes to hard drives.
v
When you handle electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices (ESDs), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these
devices, refer to “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices” on page 76.
To install a hard disk drive in a hot-swap drive bay:
1. Review the safety precautions in “Safety precautions” on page ix.
2. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away
from the appliance.
3. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the rails on the drive assembly with the guide rails in the drive bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive connects to the
planar.
d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the drive in
place.
4. Check the hard disk drive status indicators to verify that the hard disk drives are
operating properly :
v
When the amber LED is on continuously, the drive has failed.
v
When the green LED flashes slowly (one flash per second), the drive is being
rebuilt.
v
When the green LED flashes rapidly (three flashes per second), the controller
is identifying the drive.
