Hot-swap for HDD Modules
V
CAUTION!
The hot-swap function can only be performed if the RAID is configured
appropriately.
Only remove a HDD module during operation if the drive is not being
accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD module
(see “Hard disk drive indicators” on page 59).
If you want to replace a HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê
If you want to remove a HDD module that is not defective, the drive must be
first set to offline via the software (RAID controller configuration software).
Ê
Now pull out the HDD module 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 fully.
Ê
Insert the new HDD module.
If you remove a HDD module and do not replace it with a new module, insert a
dummy module into the empty mounting location. Ensure that the dummy
module engages correctly in the mounting location.
