Installing, hot-swap, drive

Page 52 highlights

Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive The storage subsystem supports up to 14 IBM Ultra320 SCSI hard disk drives. These IBM drives come preassembled in a drive tray, ready for installation. (Do not detach the drive from the tray.) Be sure to record the location information for each drive in Appendix A of the DS300 and DS400 Hardware Installation and User's Guide. The storage subsystem comes with filler panels in the drive bays. Before installing a new hard disk drive, remove the filler panel and save it for future use. Each of the 14 bays must contain either a filler panel or a hard disk drive. Complete the following steps to install a hard disk drive in the storage subsystem. You can install drives while the storage subsystem is turned on. Note: If you are replacing a drive, see "Replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive" on page 39 for more information. 1. Read the instructions that come with the hard disk drive. 2. Read the safety information beginning on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 35. 3. Determine the bay into which you want to install the hard disk drive. 4. Remove the filler panel: a. Insert a finger into the square hole at the top of the filler panel to grip and pull the filler panel out of the drive bay. b. Save the filler panel for future use. 5. Install the hard disk drive. Note: The hard disk drive comes with a tray already attached. Do not attempt to detach the drive from the tray. Drive tray Tray handle Latch Hard disk drive Figure 20. Installing a hard disk drive a. Press the latch on the bottom of the tray handle to release it. b. Pull out the tray handle to the open position. c. Gently slide the drive into the empty bay until the tray handle touches the expansion-unit bezel. d. Push down the tray handle into the closed (latched) position. 6. Check the hard disk drive LEDs: v When a drive is ready for use, the green activity LED is off and the amber drive-fault LED is off. v If the amber drive-fault LED is lit and not flashing, remove the drive from the unit and wait 10 seconds; then, reinstall the drive. 38 IBM TotalStorage DS300 and DS400: Hardware Maintenance Manual

Installing
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
The
storage
subsystem
supports
up
to
14
IBM
Ultra320
SCSI
hard
disk
drives.
These
IBM
drives
come
preassembled
in
a
drive
tray,
ready
for
installation.
(Do
not
detach
the
drive
from
the
tray.)
Be
sure
to
record
the
location
information
for
each
drive
in
Appendix
A
of
the
DS300
and
DS400
Hardware
Installation
and
User’s
Guide
.
The
storage
subsystem
comes
with
filler
panels
in
the
drive
bays.
Before
installing
a
new
hard
disk
drive,
remove
the
filler
panel
and
save
it
for
future
use.
Each
of
the
14
bays
must
contain
either
a
filler
panel
or
a
hard
disk
drive.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
install
a
hard
disk
drive
in
the
storage
subsystem.
You
can
install
drives
while
the
storage
subsystem
is
turned
on.
Note:
If
you
are
replacing
a
drive,
see
“Replacing
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive”
on
page
39
for
more
information.
1.
Read
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
hard
disk
drive.
2.
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
iii
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
35.
3.
Determine
the
bay
into
which
you
want
to
install
the
hard
disk
drive.
4.
Remove

of
the
drive
bay.
b.
Save
the
filler
panel
for
future
use.
5.

position.
c.
Gently
slide
the
drive
into
the
