5.6. Drive Tray Maintenance
5.6.1 Notes on Hard Drive Maintenance
♦
Hot-swappable drive trays
- The drive trays are all hot-swappable. If a hard drive
fails it can be replaced while the subsystem is still running.
♦
Remove Drives Slowly
- When removing a drive tray from the ES subsystem
enclosure, it must not be removed too quickly. When removing a drive tray,
withdraw it from the enclosure slowly. If the drive tray is removed too quickly a
drive IO timeout will occur.
♦
Open Flap
- Once the flap on the drive tray has been opened, the drive tray must be
removed from the subsystem. Failure to remove the drive tray from the subsystem
after the flap has been opened will result in Data Compare Errors.
♦
Replacement on hand
- If a hard drive has failed, before removing it from the
subsystem make sure you have a replacement hard drive readily available. Do not
leave the drive tray slot open for an extended period of time. If the drive tray slot is
left unoccupied for an extended period of time, the normalized airflow will be
