VLS300 node component replacement SATA hard drive CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the node unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. NOTE: SATA hard drive LED functionality and hot-plug capability are not currently supported. 1. Power off the node. See Powering off the system. 2. Press the drive latch release button (1). 3. Pull the hard drive out of the node by the latch handle (2). 2 1 2 Figure 73 Removing a node hard drive NOTE: Because the system disks in the node use software RAID to mirror the two drives, the node cannot boot up from drive 1; a bootable drive must be installed in drive bay 0. To replace drive 0: remove drive 0, remove drive 1, install previous drive 1 into drive bay 0, then install the new, blank drive into drive bay 1. To replace the component: 1. Pull out the latch handle out as far as it can go and slide the drive into the bay until the latch mechanism engages the chassis. Then, firmly push in the latch handle to lock the drive in the drive bay. 2. Power on the node. See Powering on the VLS300 system. On reboot, the replacement drive is automatically configured to RAID 1 - no administrator action is required. CD-ROM drive 1. Power off the node.
