Hot-swap a disk drive in a DS224C or DS212C disk shelf -
shelves with IOM12 modules
You can hot-swap a failed disk drive in a DS224C or DS212C disk shelf.
Before you begin
• The disk drive that you are installing must be supported by the DS224C or DS212C disk shelf.
NetApp Hardware Universe
• All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, contact technical support.
• The disk drive you are removing must be failed.
You can verify the disk drive is failed by running the
storage disk show -broken
command. The
failed disk drive appears in the list of failed disk drives. If it does not, you should wait, and run the
command again.
Depending on the disk drive type and capacity, it can take up to several hours for the disk
drive to appear in the list of failed disk drives.
• If you are replacing a self-encrypting disk (SED), you must follow the instructions for Replacing an SED in
the ONTAP documentation for your version of ONTAP.
Instructions in the ONTAP documentation describe additional steps you must perform before and after
replacing an SED.

About this task
• You should take steps to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD):
◦
Keep the disk drive in the ESD bag until you are ready to install it.
◦
Open the ESD bag by hand or cut the top off with a pair of scissors.
Do not insert a metal tool or knife into the ESD bag.
◦
Always wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface on your storage enclosure chassis.
If a wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted surface on your storage enclosure chassis before
handling the disk drive.
• You should take steps to handle disk drives carefully:
◦
Always use two hands when removing, installing, or carrying a disk drive to support its weight.
Do not place hands on the disk drive boards exposed on the underside of the disk drive
carrier.
