Hot-Swap HDD Modules Preparation for Use and Operation
5.4.1 Handling Hard Disk Drives/HDD Modules
Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro-
magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is extremely likely that
incorrect handling will lead to partial and/or total failure of the hard disk drives.
These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total corruption
of the hard disk drive.
Please observe the following rules, which will help avoid such problems
occurring:
● Store and transport HDD modules only within the limits stipulated in the
specification.
● When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use
the original packaging (ESD labeling).
● Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of
condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drive. The hard disk
drives may only be exposed to defined temperature and climatic conditions.
● Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing
downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.
5.4.2 Installing/Removing HDD/Dummy 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 modules 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.
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY RX200 are
delivered as HDD modules which include the hard disk drive preinstalled in a
carrier. The hard disk drive may only be removed from the carrier by personnel
with the appropriate technical training in compliance with the appropriate ESD
guidelines (see section “Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components” on
page 16).
