PS6500 Hardware Maintenance

Maintaining Disk Drives

2-4 

Disk Drive Requirements

Follow these disk drive handling requirements:

•

Protect disk drives from electrostatic discharge. 

When handling a disk drive, always wear an electrostatic 

wrist strap or a similar protective device. See 

Protecting Hardware from Electrostatic Discharge 

on page 1-7.

•

Handle disk drives carefully.

 Hold a disk drive only by the plastic part of the carrier. Do 

not

 handle a disk 

drive solely by the release lever.

•

Insert a disk drive properly. 

Do not force a disk drive into a slot. Make sure the disk release latch is oriented 

toward the rear of the array. 

•

Warm disk drives to room temperature before installation. 

For example, let a disk drive sit overnight 

before installing it in an array. 

•

Do not remove a disk drive from its carrier. 

This action will void your warranty and support contract.

•

Maintain array cooling.

 When installing disks in an array with power, maintain adequate cooling by 

minimizing the time that the chassis cover is open. Do not remove a failed disk until you are ready to replace it. 

•

Install the same type of disk drives. 

Install only disk drives of the same capacity, speed, and spin rate in an 

array. 

If an array contains disk drives with different sizes, in some cases, the smallest disk drive in the array will 
determine how much space can be used on each disk. For example, if the smallest disk drive is 400GB, only 
400GB of space will be available for use on each disk.

•

Do not remove a functioning disk drive from an array.

 If you remove a spare disk drive, replace it as soon 

as possible.

•

Store disk drives properly.

 Store replacement disk drives in the packaging in which they were shipped. 

Removing Disk Drives

To remove a disk drive from an array:

1. Identify the drive you want to remove. You can obtain this information from the event log and the disk LEDs. 

See 

Disk Drive LEDs 

on page 2-1 and Figure 2-4. 

2. Use an electrostatic wrist strap or a similar protective device. See 

Protecting Hardware from Electrostatic 

Discharge 

on page 1-7.

3. Remove the bezel. See 

Removing and Installing the Bezel 

on page 1-8.

4. Unlock and open the chassis cover. See 

Opening and Closing the Chassis Cover 

on page 1-9.

5. Confirm the disk drive you want to remove. The LED on a failed disk drive will be lit (yellow). 

Note:

The LED on the failed disk is closer to the release latch for the adjacent disk than it is to the release 
latch on the failed disk. See Figure 2-5.
