Hot-swap for HDD Modules
V
CAUTION!
The hot-swap function can only be performed together with a corre-
sponding RAID configuration.
Only pull out a HDD module if the drive is not being accessed. Observe
the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD module (see “Hard disk
drive control indicator” on page 58).
If you want to replace a HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê
If you want to pull out a HDD module which is not defective, it must be set to
offline via software (RAID controller configuration software).
Ê
Pull out the HDD module (defective/not defective) by a few centimeters.
Ê
Wait for at least 60 seconds.
I
This period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that a
HDD module has been pulled out and for the hard disk drive to come
to a stop.
Ê
Pull out the HDD module right.
Ê
Insert the new HDD module.
When you have removed the HDD module and are not replaced with a new
module, then insert a dummy module into the empty slot. Make sure that the
retaining clips of the dummy unit engage correctly in the location.
