v
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
v
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
v
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the storage subsystem for at least two seconds. This drains static
electricity from the package and from your body.
v
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your storage
subsystem without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place
it in its static-protective package. Do not place the device on your storage
subsystem cover or any metal surface.
v
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Service Action Allowed status LED
Each controller, power supply and fan unit, and battery unit has a blue Service
Action Allowed status LED. The purpose of the Service Action Allowed status LED
is to help ensure that a component is not removed before it is safe to do so. Do not
remove any storage subsystem component unless the component’s Service Action
Allowed status LED is lit.
Attention
Never remove a controller, power supply and fan unit, or interconnect-battery
unit unless the Service Action Allowed status LED is turned on. Doing so can
result in a potential loss of data. If the Needs Attention LED is lit and the
associated Service Action Allowed status LED is
not
lit, then you must perform
additional diagnostics
before
you can remove the indicated component. Use
the Recovery Guru instructions in the DS Storage Manager Subsystem
Management window or refer to the appropriate component replacement
instructions for the additional diagnostics required in this case.
The Service Action Allowed status LED automatically turns on or off as conditions
change. Wait at least two minutes after you replace each component for the
controller to recognize the new component and update the LED status. In most
cases when a single component fails, the Service Action Allowed status LED turns
on steadily when the Needs Attention status LED is turned on for the component.
Single component failures
When a single component in the DS5100 and DS5300 fails, the following list
indicates the behavior of the Service Action Allowed status LED lights:
v
If a controller or power supply and fan unit fails and needs to be replaced, the
amber Needs Attention status LED on that component turns on to indicate that a
service action is required. If there are no data availability dependencies or other
conditions that dictate that the component should not be removed, the blue
Service Action Allowed status LED turns on. Do not remove any components
other than the component indicated by the lit blue Service Action Allowed status
LED.
v
The interconnect-battery unit contains the midplane that communicates between
controllers A and B in the DS5100 and DS5300. If the interconnect-battery unit
needs to be replaced, the Service Action Allowed status LED does
not
automatically turn on. Before the interconnect-battery unit Service Action Allowed
status LED can turn on, you must use the DS Storage Manager client to place
