4.5.2 Auto Start Failure
Unless otherwise selected at installation time, all drives in the enclosure should automatically start their
motors after power is applied. If this has not occurred there is a power problem (An alarm and power fault
indication would normally be active).
Note
The SYSTEM LED will flash Green/Amber.
4.6 Dealing with Hardware Faults
Ensure that you have obtained a replacement module of the same type before removing any faulty
module.
Warning
If the RS-1600-FC-FFX2 subsystem is powered up and you remove any module, replace it
immediately. If the subsystem is used with modules or module blanks missing for more than a
few minutes, the Enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data loss. Such use will
invalidate the warranty.
• Replace a faulty drive with a drive of the same type and capacity.
• All drive bays must be fitted with a Drive Carrier module or a dummy carrier module in order to
maintain a balanced air flow.
• All the supplied plug-in power supply units, electronics modules and blank modules must be in place
for the air to flow correctly around the cabinet.
4.7 Continuous Operation During
Replacement
Depending on how the subsystem is set up, if a disk unit fails, it can normally be replaced without
interrupting the use of the system.
In addition, each enclosure contains two Power Supply/Cooling modules, either of which can maintain
power and cooling to the subsystem while the other is replaced.
