User Manual
2.6.1 Disk Drive Installation
This section describes the physical locations of the hard drives supported by the
subsystem and give instructions on installing a hard drive. The subsystem supports
hot-swapping allowing you to install or replace a hard drive while the subsystem is
running.
NOTE: When the RAID subsystem is shipped, the disk trays are
not placed in the disk slots. If all disk trays will be used to install
all 42 disk drives, for quicker and easier installation of disk
drives in the RAID subsystem, it is recommended to install first
each disk drive in a disk tray. After installing the disk drives,
insert 14 disk trays into one row of 14 slots at a time and lock
them one by one. Do the same for the next row until the last row.
Disk Slots
NOTE: When the subsystem is already in operational mode, it is
not recommended to open the top cover for a long period of time;
proper air flow within the enclosure might fail causing high disk
drive temperature.
