The cam handle on the disk drive or carrier springs open partially and the disk drive or carrier
releases from the midplane.
6.
Pull the cam handle to its fully open position to unseat the disk drive or carrier from the
midplane.
For example, the following illustration shows a disk drive or carrier with the cam handle in
its fully open position:
6.0TB
6.0TB
6.0TB
6.0TB
7.
Slide out the disk drive or carrier slightly and allow the disk to safely spin down, which can
take less than one minute, and then remove the disk drive or carrier from the disk shelf.
8.
With the cam handle in the open position, insert the replacement disk drive or carrier into the
disk shelf slot, firmly pushing until the disk drive or carrier stops.
Note: Wait a minimum of 10 seconds before inserting a new disk drive or carrier. This
allows the system to recognize that a disk drive or carrier was removed.
Note: Use two hands when inserting the disk drive or carrier, but do not place hands on the
disk drive boards that are exposed on the underside of the disk carrier.
9.
Close the cam handle so that the disk drive or carrier is fully seated into the midplane and the
handle clicks into place.
Be sure to close the cam handle slowly so that it aligns correctly with the face of the disk
drive or carrier.
10. If you are replacing another disk drive or carrier, repeat Steps 2 through 8.
11. If you disabled automatice drive assignment in Step 1, then, manually assign drive ownership
and then reenable automatic drive assignment if needed.
a. Display all unowned drives:
storage disk show -container-type unassigned
You can enter the command on either controller module.
b. Assign each drive:
storage disk assign -disk disk_name -owner owner_name
You can enter the command on either controller module.
You can use the wildcard character to assign more than one drive at once.
c. Reenable automatic drive assignment if needed:
storage disk option modify -node node_name -autoassign on
You must reenable automatic drive assignment on both controller modules.
12. Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.
