1. Check the Power LED and the Attention LED on the drive you replaced. (When you first insert a drive, its
Attention LED might be on. However, the LED should go off within a minute.)
◦ Power LED is on or blinking, and the Attention LED is off: Indicates that the new drive is working
correctly.
◦ Power LED is off: Indicates that the drive might not be installed correctly. Remove the drive, wait 30
seconds, and then reinstall it.
◦ Attention LED is on: Indicates that the new drive might be defective. Replace it with another new drive.
2. If the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager still shows an issue, select Recheck to ensure the
problem has been resolved.

What’s next?
Your drive replacement is complete. You can resume normal operations.
Replace E5700 drive drawer (60-drive)
You can replace a drive drawer in an E5700 array.
About this task
The steps to replace a failed drive drawer in an E5760 controller shelf or a DE460C drive shelf depend on
whether the volumes in the drawer are protected by Drawer Loss Protection. If all volumes in the drive drawer
are in disk pools or volume groups that have Drawer Loss Protection, you can perform this procedure online.
Otherwise, you must stop all host I/O activity and power off the shelf before replacing the drive drawer.
Before you begin
• Review drive handling requirements in
Requirements for E5700 drive replacement.
• Make sure the drive shelf meets all of these conditions:
◦ The drive shelf cannot be over temperature.
◦ Both fans must be installed and have a status of Optimal.
◦ All drive shelf components must be in place.
◦ The volumes in the drive drawer cannot be in a Degraded state.
