Use
the
following
instructions
to
add
new
drives
to
a
Verde
array.
Ensure ESD Protection
The
repair
environment
for
the
array
must
be
free
of
conditions
that
could
cause
electrostatic
discharge
(ESD).
To
protect
the
array
from
ESD,
follow
these
procedures
when
repairing
or
testing
the
array:
Place
a
static
protection
mat
on
the
work
surface
used
while
removing
and
installing
array
components.
Use
a
1
‐
megohm
resistor
to
ground
the
static
protection
mat.
Wear
a
static
protection
wrist
band
or
grounding
foot
strap
whenever
you
handle
array
components
that
are
removed
from
their
anti
‐
static
bags.
Connect
the
wrist
band
to
the
static
protection
mat
or
to
other
suitable
ESD
grounding.
Keep
all
electronic
components
in
anti
‐
static
bags
when
not
in
use.

Caution
Any damage to an Verde array caused by failure to protect it from electrostatic
discharge (ESD) voids the Verde’s warranty. To protect the drives from damage:
Wear an anti-static wristband, properly grounded, throughout the procedure. If
a wristband is not available, touch a known grounded surface, such as the
unpainted metal chassis.
Leave the drive in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it.
Do not place the un-bagged drive on any metal surfaces.
