Removal and replacement procedures

39

In RAID 1+0 configurations, any drives that are not mirrored to other

removed or failed drives can be simultaneously replaced offline without
data loss.

To remove the component:

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do

not operate the storage enclosure unless all bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.

1.

Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs.

2.

Back up all data on the hard drive.

3.

Remove the hard drive.

To replace the component:

1.

Slide the drive into the cage until it clicks, locking the drive into place.

2.

Close the lever.

IMPORTANT: When the drive is inserted, the drive LEDs flash for

2 seconds to indicate that the drive is seated properly and receiving
power.

3.

As the drive begins to spin, be sure that the drive LEDs illuminate one at a

time and then turn off together to indicate that the system has recognized the
new drive.
