Installing Additional Disks
Read this section if you received any disks that are not already
installed in the storage system.
Handling FRUs
This section describes the precautions that you must take and the
general procedures you must follow when removing, installing, and
storing disk drive modules or any other Field Replaceable Unit
(FRU).
Power Issues and FRUs
The storage system is designed to be powered up continually and hot
repairable. Front bezels should be attached and each compartment
should contain a FRU or filler panel to ensure EMI compliance and
proper air flow over the FRUs.
You should not remove a faulty FRU until you have a replacement
available.
When you replace or install FRUs, you can inadvertently damage the
sensitive electronic circuits in the equipment by simply touching
them. Electrostatic charge that has accumulated on your body
discharges through the circuits. If the air in the work area is very dry,
running a humidifier in the work area will help decrease the risk of
ESD damage. Follow the procedures below to prevent damage to the
equipment.
Read and understand the following instructions:
◆
Provide enough room to work on the equipment. Clear the work
site of any unnecessary materials or materials that naturally build
up electrostatic charge, such as foam packaging, foam cups,
cellophane wrappers, and similar items.
◆
Do not remove replacement or upgrade FRUs from their antistatic
packaging until you are ready to install them.
◆
Before you service a storage system, gather together the ESD kit
and all other materials you will need. Once servicing begins,
avoid moving away from the work site; otherwise, you may build
up an electrostatic charge.
