Tools
–
ESD gloves
Used to prevent ESD damage when you insert, remove, or hold the ES3000 V3 or a
precision device.
Pay attention to the following in Linux:
l
Do not perform direct read or write operations on a raw SSD to avoid processing the
wrong SSD due to a changed drive letter. Restarting the server, installing or uninstalling
the SSD driver, inserting and removing the SSD may change the SSD drive letter.
l
If you have to perform direct read or write operations on a raw SSD, use the
hioadm info
command to check the SSD information and confirm the drive letter through the SSD SN.
l
It is recommended that you use the
mount
command to mount the SSD partitions to a
specified path before performing read and write operations. To ensure normal release of
system resources, use the unmount command to cancel the mounted SSD partitions before
installing or uninstalling the driver, and inserting or removing the SSD.
l
You can also add information to the
/etc/fstab
file so that SSD partitions are automatically
mounted during system startup, driver installation and uninstallation, and SSD insertion
and removal. For details, run the
man fstab
command to view help information. After
enabling the automatic mounting of SSD partitions, you do not need to run the
umount
command before installing or uninstalling the driver, and inserting or removing the SSD.
