Caution:
When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a
hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the
partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it unusable.
Note:
When installing a hard drive, there must be a minimum 30 second delay between removing the
failed drive and installing the replacement drive.
1. Open the hard-drive carrier handle.
2. Insert the hard-drive carrier into the hard-drive slot until the carrier connects with the backplane.
3. Close the hard-drive carrier handle to lock the hard drive in place.
l
It may take up to 30 seconds for the system to detect that a failed drive was removed and a new drive
was inserted.
l
The activity indicator for all drives in the Array module or Expansion module will blink green while the
drive is rebuilding.
l
The rebuild process takes approximately 17 hours (no system load) to 23 hours (normal system
load).
l
You can continue to use the DXi6900-S normally while the drive rebuilds. System performance may
be reduced during the rebuilding process.
4. In the remote management console, delete any administrative alerts and close any service tickets.

Note:
DXi6900-S uses redundant, hot-swappable power supplies. You do not need to shut down the
system to remove and replace a power supply.
Caution:
Each Array and Expansion module require one power supply for normal operation. Remove
and replace only one power supply at a time if the system is powered on.
