8.2.3 Installing/Removing HDD Module
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 RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is
operating in RAID level 1,5 or 10.
V CAUTION!
The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for
an acclimatization time (table 7).
V CAUTION!
The HDD modules (drives) must be marked clearly so that they can be
put back into their original place after an upgrade. If this is not taken into
account, existing data can be destroyed.
I So that the storage capacity of the hard disk can be recognized at a
glance when the hard disk drive is replaced, several prefabricated
stickers with the storage capacities are provided with the server. Each
HDD module should bear a sticker indicating its capacity on the front
(position 5 in figure 21 on page 81). Should no suitable sticker be
available, blank stickers for labeling are also provided. The stickers are
available in several colors to facilitate identification.
