7.6 Installing a Hard Disk
Install a hard disk to replace the original one or add a new hard disk.
You do not need to power off the RH2288 V3 before installing a hard disk.
After a failed hard disk is disconnected from the disk backplane, wait for 30 seconds before
removing it and inserting a new one. The alarm persists after a new hard disk is installed and
will be cleared after the RAID array is rebuilt. Do not frequently hot-swap a hard disk to
prevent new alarms.
Procedure
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see 1 Safety Instructions.
Step 2 Remove the hard disk to be replaced. For details, see 7.5 Removing a Hard Disk.
Step 3 Take the spare hard disk out of its ESD bag.
Step 4 Fully raise the ejector lever and push the hard disk into the chassis along the guide rails until
it does not move. See step (1) in Figure 7-9.
