7.3.6 Replacing a 3.5-inch HDD module
V CAUTION!
●
Only remove an HDD / SSD module during operation if the drive is
not currently being accessed. Observe the indicators on the HDD
module, as described in the "PRIMERGY TX150 S8 / TX200 S7
Server" operating manual.
●
Under no circumstances should you remove an HDD / SSD module
while the system is in operation if you are not sure that the drive is
operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is
operating in RAID level 1, 1E, 10, 5, 50, 6 or 60.
An HDD / SSD module can only be replaced during operation in
conjunction with a corresponding RAID configuration.
●
All HDD / SSD modules (drives) must be uniquely identified so that
they can be reinstalled in their original mounting locations later. If this
is not done, existing data can be lost.
