8.8 Replacement of a Disk Drive
If a disk drive becomes defective, the SERVICE LED on the array controller lights orange. In addition,
the SERVICE LED on the FC/SATA disk enclosure in which the defective disk drive is installed and
the FAULT LED on the defective disk drive are lit orange.
The defective disk drive may be replaced with the powers of the disk array unit and FC disk enclosure
remaining ON.
If the FAULT LED on a disk drive lights, the fault of any other disk drive in the same logical disk will
cause data to be lost due to interruption of redundancy. Except in a RAID6 environment where 3 disk
drives wold need to fail. If the FAULT LED on a disk drive lights, replace the disk drive immediately.
Perform the replacement job as quickly as possible. Operating the disk enclosure for a long time with a
disk drive removed is very risky.
Always replace a defective disk drive with a disk drive having the same storage capacity and rotational
speed.
<Replacement procedure>
1. Identify the defective disk drive with the FAULT LED lit.
2. Lift the ejector of the defective disk drive towards you to release the lock.
When the lock is released, a click occurs.
After the lock is released, hold the handle and pull out the disk drive.
