HP MSA Drive Module Replacement Instructions Abstract This document details procedures for replacing failed drive modules in HP MSA 2040 and HP MSA 1040 controller and drive enclosures. Read this entire document before replacing a drive. Incorrectly removing an operational, failing, or failed drive from an enclosure might cause data loss. © Copyright 2013, 2014 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Before you begin • Before proceeding, check the following: ◦ Confirm that the drive is a member of a fault-tolerant configuration that permits removing one or more drives without risking data loss. ◦ If multiple drives have failed and need replacing, determine how many drives can be replaced at the same time. The number of drives that can fail and be replaced without data loss is determined by the fault-tolerance level of the configuration. • Leave failed modules in the enclosure until you are ready to install the replacement module. Removing a module from an operational enclosure significantly changes air flow within the enclosure. Openings must be populated for the enclosure to cool properly. • Parts can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Keep parts in electrostatic containers until needed and ensure you are properly grounded when touching static-sensitive components. • Use care when handling drives. Drives are sensitive electromechanical devices that can be permanently damaged through improper handling. Keep drives in their original, protective packaging until installation. • The replacement drive module must be of the same type, and possess capacity equal to or greater than the one being replaced. • For additional information on replacing drives, see the HP website documentation listed under Resources.
