Replacing the HDD Module
If you want to replace a HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê
Pull out the HDD module by a few centimeters.
V
CAUTION!
Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the
system is in operation, if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is
operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array which is
operating in RAID level 1, 5, 10 or 50.
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 Indicators” on page 56
).
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 completely.
Ê
Insert the new HDD module, as described in
“Unlocking the HDD Module”
on page 81
and in
“Installing the HDD Module” on page 82
.
V
CAUTION!
If the HDD module is removed and not replaced with a new module, then
the dummy module must be reinstalled due to cooling, the applicable
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations and fire protection.
Make sure that the retaining clips of the dummy module engage correctly
in the location.
