Installing/Removing a HDD/Dummy Module Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives
Swapping the HDD module
If you want to replace a hot-plug HDD module during operation, proceed as
follows:
Ê Pull out the HDD module by a few centimeters.
V CAUTION!
Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the
system is in operation, if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is
operated by a SATA RAID controller and belongs to a disk array which
is operating in RAID level 1.
Only pull out a HDD module if the drive is not being accessed.
Observe the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD module (see
“Hard disk drive control indicators” on page 41).
Ê Wait for at least 60 seconds.
I This period is necessary for the SATA RAID controller to recognize
that a HDD module has been pulled out and for the hard disk drive to
come to a stop.
Ê Pull out the HDD module completely.
Ê Insert the new HDD module, as described in “Unlocking the HDD module”
on page 60 and in “Installing the HDD module” on page 61.
V CAUTION!
If the HDD module is removed and not replaced with a new module, then
the dummy module must be reinstalled due to cooling, the applicable
EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations and fire protection.
Make sure that the retaining clips of the dummy unit engage correctly in
the location.
