Attention:

In

the

initial

installation

of

the

DS4100,

you

can

add

only

new

expansion

units

to

the

DS4100

storage

server.

This

means

that

there

must

be

no

existing

configuration

information

on

the

expansion

unit

that

you

want

to

install.

If

the

expansion

unit

that

you

want

to

install

currently

contains

logical

drives

or

configured

hot

spares,

and

you

want

them

to

be

part

of

the

DS4100

storage

server,

refer

to

the

IBM

TotalStorage

DS4000

Hard

Drive

and

Storage

Expansion

Enclosure

Installation

and

Migration

Improper

drive

migration

might

cause

loss

of

configuration

and

other

storage

server

problems.

Contact

your

IBM

the

following

steps:

Note:

The

as

in

the

case

of

a

new

installation).

For

″hot-case″

procedures

(the

DS4100

is
