DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT SKILLS ARE REQUIRED:

No special skills required, Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) procedure

TIME ESTIMATE: 45 mins

TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Disk Failure/Fault

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY?:

The operating system should be configured by the customer such that the disk drive is free for replacement.
e.g. The disk may be part of Solaris Volume Manager, Veritas Volume Manager, mounted file-system, raw partitions, etc.
A data backup may be required to restore data onto a replaced disk.
If a data backup is not required it is still a wise precaution.

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED:

Removing a Primary Hard Drive

1. Power off the system, remove the system cover, and attach an antistatic wrist strap

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear
an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in
antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

2. Lift the spring-loaded latch upward to release the hard drive tray from the chassis

3. Pull the hard drive tray ejection lever away from the chassis.

4. Disconnect the hard drive IDE cable and the power cable connectors from both
hard drives (if two drives are installed). Move the cables out of the way.

5. Slide the hard drive tray out of the chassis.

6. Turn the hard drive tray over and place it on an antistatic mat.

7. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws securing the hard drive
to the hard drive tray.

8. Lift the hard drive tray from the hard drive.

Replacing a Primary Hard Drive

Note – Read the hard drive product guide for information about jumpers, switch
settings, or other installation tasks.

Note – Before you replace any hard drive, verify that the hard drive mode-select
jumper is set to “CS,” “Enable Cable Select,” or “Cable Select.”

1. Position the hard drive into the hard drive tray

2. Turn the tray upside down on an antistatic mat.

3. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, replace the four screws securing the hard drive
to the hard drive tray.

4. Position the hard drive tray into the chassis.

5. While ensuring that the cables are not damaged, slide the hard drive tray into the
chassis until the spring-loaded latch clicks into place.

6. Connect the hard drive IDE cable connector labeled “Primary HDD” to the
primary hard drive.

Note – Ensure that the cables are properly oriented by aligning the connector keys.

7. Connect the power cable to the hard drive.

Caution – Ensure that the cables will not be damaged when you replace the system
cover.

8. Detach the wrist strap, replace the system cover, and power on the system.

<OPTIONAL>  Installing a Secondary Hard Drive
The optional secondary hard drive mounts next to the primary hard drive on the
hard drive tray. The secondary IDE cable assembly is used with the
secondary hard drive.

Use the following procedure to install the optional secondary hard drive.

1. Power off the system, remove the system cover, and attach an antistatic wrist strap

Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. Wear
an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in
antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

2. Lift the spring-loaded latch upward to release the hard drive tray from the chassis

3. Pull the hard drive tray ejection lever away from the chassis.

4. Disconnect the existing hard drive IDE and power cables from the primary hard
drive.

5. Slide the hard drive tray out of the chassis.

6. Place the new secondary hard drive onto the hard drive tray.

7. Turn the tray upside down on an antistatic mat.

Note – Before installing the hard drive into the system, verify that the drive’s backpanel
mode-select jumper is set to “CS,” “Enable Cable Select,” or “Cable Select.”

8. Using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver, install the four screws that secure the drive to
the hard drive tray.

9. While ensuring that the cables are not damaged, slide the hard drive tray into the
chassis until the spring-loaded latch clicks into place.

10. Verify that the secondary IDE cable connector is connected to riser board
connector IDE2 (J503).

Note – Ensure that the cables are properly oriented by aligning the connector keys.

11. Verify that the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM cable is connected to the primary (IDE1,
J504) cable connector labeled CD/DVD.

12. Connect the hard drive IDE cable connector labeled “Primary HDD” to the
primary hard drive.

13. Connect the power cable to the secondary hard drive.

14. Connect the power cable to the primary hard drive.

15. Connect the secondary hard drive to the cable connector labeled “Secondary HDD”.

Caution – Ensure that the cables will not be damaged when you replace the system cover.

16. Detach the wrist strap, replace the system cover, and power on the system

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

Boot system and verify functionality. Reconfigure disk as previously configured. e.g. Part of raid set or mounted file-system or raw partition or other. Restart software applications per applicable administration guides to resume system operation.
