REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Disk failure

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

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:

For information on removing a hard drive while the operating server is running

Removing a Hard Drive

1. Ensure that you are properly grounded.

2. Open the front bezel.

3. Check that the blue indicator indicator is lit on the hard drive. The blue indicator comes on when the hard drive is ready to remove.

4. Slide the catch at the front of the hard drive to the right. The handle on the front of the hard drive releases.

5. Pull the handle and remove the hard drive from the server by sliding the drive out from its bay.

Installing a Hard Drive

1. Slide the catch on the front of the hard drive to the right. This releases the hard drive. The lever must be open before you insert the hard drive
into the server. If the lever is closed, the hard drive will not correctly engage.

2. Slide the hard drive into its bay at the front of the server. Push the drive in firmly until the metal lever starts to close. The hard drive has
engaged with its connector in the server.

3. Push the metal lever until the hard drive clicks into place.

4. Close the bezel. 

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

Reconfigure disk as previously configured. e.g. Part of raid set or mounted file-system or raw partition or other.
