TX300 S3
Operating Manual 89
Hot plug components Hot-pluggable hard disk drives
8.2 Hot-pluggable hard disk drives
Up to six SAS/SATA hard-disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY
TX300 S3 server.
The hard disk drives are mounted on a carrier that allows defective drives to be
replaced or new drives to be added online (hot-plug). The hard disk drive and
the carrier constitute the hard disk drive module (HDD module).
V
CAUTION!
Only a service engineer is permitted to remove a hard disk drive from the
carrier.
V
CAUTION!
The HDD modules must be marked clearly so that they can be replaced
in their original slots after an upgrade. If this is not done, existing data can
be lost.
V
CAUTION!
The hot plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corresponding
RAID configuration.
Further information about RAID configuration or the RAID level can be
found in the RAID controller documentation (see
“Literature” on
page 115 ).
When replacing a HDD module, refer to “Hard disk drive control indicators” on
page 64 as well as section “Installing/Removing the HDD Module” on page 92 .
