To Replace a Disk
The Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module disks can be replaced by users. Follow these steps
to remove and replace a disk drive:
1. Observe the front panel disk drive LEDs and identify the defective disk as
indicated by its fault LED (see
“The Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module Front Panel”
on page 10
).
2. Execute software commands, if appropriate, to isolate and prepare the disk
drive for removal.
3. Press the button on the face of the disk to release the spring-loaded securing
latch. See
FIGURE 3-3
and
FIGURE 3-4
.
4. Grasp the securing latch and remove the disk from the drive bay.
You can always remove a disk drive when it is out of the chassis (see
FIGURE 3-3
).
Disks in the Sun Blade 6000 Disk Module are hot-pluggable, so you can also
remove a disk when the disk module is installed in the chassis (see
FIGURE 3-4
).
Caution –
Slots should always contain either a disk drive or a filler in order to
maintain adequate air flow. Do not operate the system with slots that are empty.
Always insert a filler when you remove a disk drive from a slot.
