Event notification messages indicate the completion or status of array configuration tasks
and are always accompanied by two or three successive and prolonged beeps. The alarm
can be turned off using the mute button on the front panel.
WARNING
Failing to respond when an audible alarm is heard can lead to permanent damage(s)
to the system. When an audible alarm is heard, rectify the problem as soon as
possible.
Hot-swapping
The system comes with a number of hot-swappable components that can be exchanged
while the system is still online without affecting the operational integrity. These components
should only be removed from the system when they have to be replaced.
The following components can be user-maintained and hot-swappable:
Controller module (Dual-Controller models)
PSU (including cooling modules)
Hard drive
NOTE
Normalized airflow ensures sufficient cooling of the system and is only attained when
all components are properly installed. Therefore, a failed component should only be
removed when a replacement is available. For instructions on how to replace these
hot-swappable components, please refer to System Maintenance.
Hardware Installation
This chapter describes how to install modular components, such as hard drives into the
enclosure and CMB into Unified Storage controller enclosure.
NOTE
Installation into a rack or cabinet should occur
BEFORE
hard drives are installed into
the system.
Installation Prerequisites
Static-free installation environment:
The system must be installed in a static-free
environment to minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage.
Component check:
Before installing the system, check to see that you have received all
the required components using the
Unpacking List
included in the package. If there are
item(s) missing or appear damaged, contact your vendor for a replacement.
Hard drives:
SAS/SATA hard drives must be purchased separately and be available prior to
installing the system.
