Removing or Installing a Disk Filler Module
When the storage chassis has an empty disk module slot, you must install a disk filler
module to maintain the proper cooling air flow and to suppress the transmission of
electromagnetic waves that could otherwise interfere with radio and communications
equipment located nearby. (Refer to the Note and Warning in the front of this
manual.) If you are adding a RAID group (five disk modules), you must remove the
filler modules covering the empty slots.
CAUTION: If you are replacing a failed disk module and you do not have a disk
filler module, leave the failed module installed until a replacement module is
available.
To remove a disk filler module, grasp the module and pull it out of the chassis. If you
cannot grasp the module, use a medium flat blade screwdriver to gently pry it out.
