Replacing Enclosure Components
All components are hot-pluggable. However, removing a component causes a
significant change in the airflow within the enclosure, and the enclosure could
overheat if a replacement component is not installed within a relatively short time.
•
Before removing a component from the enclosure, be sure that a replacement
component is immediately available.
•
If removing a drive, replace it with another drive or a drive blank to maintain the
correct airflow in the enclosure.
CAUTION: Be careful when replacing a drive. The drives in the enclosure are
fragile.
Replacement Procedures
The following general steps apply to all components. Detailed procedures for
removing individual components are given in the appropriate section of this chapter.
CAUTION: Before replacing a component, follow the precautions described in
Appendix B to minimize the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge.
1.
Remove the replacement component from its static-free container.
2.
Check the label on the replacement component to be sure that it is of the correct
type.
3.
Remove the defective component from the enclosure.
