HP MSA 500 G2 Storage System Maintenance and Service Guide
−
In RAID 1+0 configurations, any drives that are not mirrored to other
removed or failed drives can be simultaneously replaced offline without
data loss.
To remove the component:
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage,
do not operate the storage system unless all bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.
1. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs
("Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drive LEDs" on page
2. Back up all data on the hard drive.
3. Remove the hard drive.
To replace the hot-plug SCSI hard drive:
1. Slide the drive into the cage until it clicks, locking the drive into place.
2. Close the lever.
3. Be sure that the drive LEDs illuminate one at a time and then turn off
together to indicate that the system has recognized the new drive.
In fault-tolerant configurations, allow the replacement drive to be
reconstructed automatically with data from the other drives. While
reconstruction is in progress, the online LED flashes.
