Removing a disk module
NOTE: If a disk module has been bound into a LUN, do not move it to another slot
unless you do not care about the data on the LUN. Each module has LUN
identifying information written when it is bound. Moving it to another slot can
make information on the original LUN inaccessible.
Generally, you should not remove a disk module unless it is faulty. Refer to
“Monitoring PFR500/E status” on page 36
.
To remove the disk module:
1. Confirm the drive location by ensuring that the disk drive LED is blue or red.
NetCentral messages may report disk faults by disk module number. To locate a
disk module by number, look at the 7-segment LED display on the rear panel of the
RAID Controller or Loop Bypass Boards. It displays a single digit (0 through 9).
This indicates the chassis address of the chassis. The chassis displaying chassis
address 0 contains drives from 0 to 9; the chassis displaying chassis address 1
contains drives from 10 to 19; and so forth.
2. Remove the drive support bracket, if installed (refer to
“Installing the chassis with
drive the support bracket” on page 31
.)
3. Grasp the release lever with your thumb and index finger and pull outward to open
the door.
4. Carefully slide the disk module out until it is free and out of its bay.
