Chapter 2 – Installing the nTier700 VTL
36
When viewed from the front of the nTier700 VTL, the odd-numbered drives (1, 3, 5, 7,
9) are located on the left side of the blade; the even-numbered drives (2, 4, 6, 8, 10) are
located on the right side. This numbering scheme is used to identify the drives on the
Drive Status screen of the operator panel and in the BlueScale web interface. Latches
between the two rows of drives secure the drives in the blades. Each latch has a label
on it that points to the drive that is attached to the latch. When unlocked, the latch
extracts the drive from the internal connector so the drive sled can be removed.
Caution:
Do not plug the power cords into the nTier700 VTL or turn on
the power until you finish installing all of the drives for the first
time. If you install the drives with the nTier700 VTL powered
on, the RAID controller immediately begins rebuilding the RAID
volume in the blade, which may destroy the preconfigured
RAID 6 volume.
After the nTier700 VTL validates the RAID volume in each blade
following the initial power-on, you can replace drives in a blade
while the nTier700 VTL is powered on (see
Maintenance on
page 75).
Unlock the Blades
For security, the nTier700 VTL blades are locked, even when the power is turned off.
An internal latch lets you manually unlock the blades without powering on the unit.
Use the following steps to manually unlock the blades.
1.
Push inward on each blade to make sure it is fully seated in its bay.
2.
Angle a #2 Phillips screwdriver into the opening in the bottom of the chassis
management module and slide it in as far as it will go (Figure 2-8).
