Replacing the primary hard drive with the spare hard
drive
If you are running version 10.0.1 of the BIG-IP software and have
previously used the
sparedisk
utility to copy the contents of your primary
hard drive to the spare hard drive, you can move the spare hard drive to the
primary hard drive bay.

To replace the primary hard drive with the spare hard drive
1. Ensure that the system is properly halted and shut down. For more
information, see

, on page 6.
2. Remove the front bezel from the unit.
3. Remove the primary hard drive:
a) Loosen the hard drive screw by turning it counterclockwise,
using an appropriate screwdriver if necessary.
Note:
The screws that hold the hard drives to the chassis are
captive and cannot be removed.
b) Grasp the ejector handle and pull straight toward you to eject the
hard drive from the system.
4. Move the spare hard drive from hard drive bay 2 to hard drive bay 1.
5. Tighten the screw into place by turning it clockwise, using an
appropriate screwdriver if necessary.
The hard drive is connected to the system when you tighten the
screw completely.
6. Power up the system by pressing the Check button on the LCD
panel.
