Replacing a drive in the RAID system
A drive can only be replaced during operation in the removable drive bay in connection with
a configured RAID1 system. This functionality is referred to as "Hot Swap".
Note
If you have configured a non-RAID system with several drives, or in the case of an internally
installed drive, you need to turn off the device before you replace a drive.
•
Observe the ESD guidelines.
•
Always replace the drive with a new drive of the same type and capacity.
Mounting locations for drives in the RAID1 system
Drives for a RAID1 system are installed in the removable tray or inside the device.
Note
The replacement of a RAID drive with removable drive bay can be performed without
shutting down the device.
The new drive can be integrated into the RAID system at operating system level with the
RAID software. Synchronization may take several hours, depending on system load.
Replacing a defective drive in the RAID system
1.
Determine which drive was reported by the RAID software as defective.
2.
Replace the appropriate drive (see: "Drives (Page 79)").
3.
Replace the defective drive with a new one of the same type and capacity.
Information about the recovery of the RAID system is available in section "Integrating a new
drive into the onboard RAID system (Page 63)".
Note
Replacing the drive in the RAID system when switched off
The RAID system does not automatically boot up when restarted if a defective drive was
replaced while the RAID system is switched off.
Therefore, place the RAID system in the first place of the bootable sources in the BIOS
setup menu "Boot > EFI".
Otherwise, the system is booted from the drive you have just installed and the message
"Operating system not found" is displayed.
