50 SteelFusion Edge Hardware and Maintenance Guide
Replacing SteelFusion Edge Components Replacing disk drives
You must use approved disk drives. Slots 0 through 7 support HDD and slots 8 through 11 support SSD.
The following table lists the disk drive configuration available for the 2U SteelFusion Edge appliances.
Note: When you replace disk drives, you must wear a grounded ESD antistatic strap to protect the hardware against
electrostatic discharge. Make sure that the strap makes skin contact prior to handling equipment.
Caution: Use caution when you remove or replace components; they can become hot to the touch.
To replace a disk drive in the 2U SteelFusion Edge appliances
1. Open the bezel.
See “Opening the bezel” on page 44.
2. Identify the faulty disk drive.
The Alarm Status page in the Management Console identifies the faulty disk drive.
The disk drive LED is orange for failed drives.
3. Connect to the CLI and enter the raid swraid fail-disk command:
amnesiac> raid swraid fail-disk <slot-number>
This command ensures the RAID system removes the disk partitions before the drive is removed
from the slot. For details, see the Riverbed Command-Line Interface Reference Manual.
