9. From the AMW Hardware tab, scroll down to view the newly added drive tray.
10. For drives that were previously installed in a different storage array, add one drive to the newly
installed drive tray and allow that drive to be recognized and displayed in the Tray Components
pane before inserting the next drive.
Note:
When you install drives in the DE6600 or DE460C drive tray, the drives in the front four
bays in each of the five drawers must be installed before the drives in the remaining open drive
bays are installed. Start installing drives by opening drawer one, but leave drawers two through
five in the closed position. After the front four drives (bays one, four, seven, and ten) are
installed in drawer one, close drawer one and open drawer two. Repeat this pattern until the
front four drive bays are filled in each of the five drawers. Open drawer one again, fill the drive
bays, and securely latch the drawer. Repeat this activity for the remaining drawers until all of
the available drive bays have been filled.
11. Repeat the previous step until all of the drives are installed.
12. In the Array Management Window, select Upgrade > View Firmware Inventory, and check
which versions of the ESM firmware and the drive firmware are installed on the new drive tray. If
necessary, upgrade the firmware to the most current version.

reconfiguring your storage array.
Note:
If the drive shelf you are adding to the storage array has been previously installed in a
different storage array, contact technical support for assistance and instructions on either
reinitializing the disks in the drive shelf or preserving the data in the drive shelf for use in the new
storage array.
Preparing to add a drive shelf or drive tray
Perform the following steps to prepare to add a new drive shelf (drive tray) using SANtricity System
Manager while power is still applied to the other components of a storage array.
Before you begin
•
The power source for your storage array must be able to accommodate the power requirements of
the new drive shelf (drive tray). Refer to the power specification for your drive shelf in the
Storage Systems Site Preparation Guide document.
•
The cabling pattern for the existing storage array must match one of the applicable schemes
shown in this guide.
