Post Installation Maintenance
Replacing a Failed Drive
You can replace a failed hard disk, while Tiger Box 1U4 is operating and no data on the
storage will be lost. If your order includes a spare drive, it is shipped to you pre-
installed in a drive carrier and is ready to replace the one that has failed.
You can also replace a failed drive with a drive not included in your shipment. In this
case the new drive must be exactly the same size and make as the one that has failed.
Additionally, you should uninstall the failed drive from its drive carrier and then
install the replacement drive in the carrier.
Important:
Periodically check the RAID status in the Storage page of Tiger
Store’s web UI. Degraded RAID status indicates that a drive has failed and
needs to be replaced. If more than one RAID drive fails, the RAID will become
inaccessible and data loss is possible.
To replace a failed RAID disk with the spare drive:
Important:
To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD), touch grounded metal
before touching any of the appliance components. You can also prevent ESD
when inserting the drive carrier into the enclosure, by holding the appliance
enclosure with the other hand.
1.
Remove the front panel bezel.
2.
Find the failed drive - its HDD status LED indicator (the left indicator) is red.
3.
Press the lever button on the front of the drive carrier to release the lever and gently
pull out the drive carrier.
Important:
If by accident you pull out other than the failed drive, the RAID
becomes offline. Insert back the healthy drive and wait until the RAID is again
online. After that find the failed drive and proceed with the steps.
4.
(
if your order does not include a spare drive
) Uninstall the failed drive from its
drive carrier and then install the replacement drive in the carrier.
5.
Insert the drive carrier with the spare disk into the drive bay, following the steps on
page 9.
6.
When the HDD status LED of the drive stops blinking, rebuild the RAID, following
the steps described in the Tiger Store Administration Guide.
Important:
Make sure you order an additional spare drive in case another
RAID drive fails in the future.
Replacing a Failed Power Module
Your Tiger Box 1U4 is shipped to you with two power supply modules, installed in the
rear of the appliance. These modules supply redundant power to Tiger Box - should a
power supply module fail, you can replace it while the system is operating. You can
replace a failed power module only with a power module of the same model.
To replace a failed power module:
1.
Find the failed power module (the light of its LED indicator is solid red).
