Configuring the Appliances
6000 and 7000 Appliances Getting Started Guide|32
To hot swap a storage device:
1.
Make sure that there is at least one fully synchronized storage device in the system
(state=ONLINE).
2.
When the system is up, remove the failed storage device.
a.
If necessary, use the key in the accessories bag to unlock the storage device.
b.
Move the release latch to the left.
The extraction handle pops out.
c.
Hold the extraction handle and carefully pull the storage device casing to remove the
storage device from the appliance.
Important- Be careful when you pull the ejector handle to remove the storage device
from the appliance. If you pull too hard on the ejector handle, it can break off from
the storage device casing.
3.
Wait 15 seconds.
The appliance recognizes that you removed a storage device. See example 2 above.
4.
Install a new storage device.
a.
Insert the replacement storage device into the slot.
b.
Push the extraction handle until it closes and the device clicks into position.
Software RAID is activated and the appliance synchronizes the storage devices. The first
synchronization can continue for over an hour. If you reboot or turn off the appliance
before the storage devices are synchronized, the synchronization starts again from scratch
at the next boot.
5.
Monitor the RAID status.
Initial Configuration

Guide related to the software version.
Go to the Installing Security Gateways on Appliances section, and see the instructions to use the
First Time Configuration Wizard.
