Installing or replacing a drive
Use the following procedure to install a drive for the first time or to replace a faulty drive in a 5U
expansion enclosure with a new one received from FRU stock.
Before you begin
Important:
• You can replace a drive assembly without powering off the expansion enclosure. However, to maintain
operating temperature, do not keep the cover off an operational enclosure for more than 15 minutes.
The reduction in airflow through the enclosure might cause the enclosure or its components to shut
down to protect from overheating.
• Ensure that the drive that you are replacing is not a spare or a member of an array. The drive status is
shown in Pools > Internal Storage in the management GUI. If the drive is a member of an array, follow
the fix procedures in the management GUI. The fix procedures minimize the risk of losing data or access
to data; the procedures also manage the system's use of the drive.
About this task
The 5U expansion enclosure supports 92 drives. Figure 34 on page 46 shows an example of a drive
assembly.

4 Release latch
5 Drive latch toes
6 Drive carrier
Procedure
1. Read all of the available safety information.
2. Remove the cover, as described in “Removing the top cover” on page 41.
3. Locate the empty drive slot to receive the new drive or that contains the faulty drive that you want to
replace.
Note: When a drive is faulty, the amber fault indicator is lit (
3 in Figure 34 on page 46). Do not
replace a drive unless the drive fault indicator is on or you are instructed to do so by a fix procedure.
A label on the enclosure cover (Figure 35 on page 47) shows the drive locations in the enclosure.
The drive slots are numbered 1-14 from left to right and A-G from the back to the front of the
enclosure.
