Adding Disk Modules
Disk modules can be added, removed, and replaced while the disk system is running.
Because the disk modules can be handled in this way, they are called
hot-pluggable.
The SCSI addresses for the disks are set using the addressing switches on the back of
the disk system. You can determine the assigned SCSI addresses by looking at the
SCSI address switch settings at the rear of the disk system.
If your storage system contains less than 4 disk modules, the remaining empty slots
require filler panels. These filler panels ensure that the proper cooling is maintained
within the storage system.
The system administration procedure for adding a disk module is operating system
specific. You must decide where the disk module is to be installed and install it. Once
the disk module is installed, the operating system must be configured to recognize it.
