Chapter 2. Adding disk drive modules this chapter describes how to add disk drive modules to a unit in a profibre storage array that is already installed as part of your system. You can do this only if: 1. You are authorized by your organization. 2. You have the correct disk drive module. Refer to f...
Before adding a disk drive module identify the slot for the new disk drive module by using the configuration planning information for your system. A dummy disk drive module should be in the slot. See figure 14. To add a disk drive module 1. Pull the dummy module out of the unit. Attention: the fans ...
2. With one hand giving support to the base of the disk drive module and the other hand holding the handle «1¬, insert the module and push it into the slot. When the handle touches the front surface of the unit, the module stops. Note that the module is not yet fully inserted. 3. While continuing to...
4. Verify that the disk drive module that you have just installed is aligned with the sides of the unit, and that no gap exists between this module and the modules that are next to it. Verify also that the front edge of this disk drive module aligns with the front edges of the modules next to it. If...
Chapter 3. Exchanging disk drive modules and fan-and-power-supply assemblies this chapter describes what to do if you need to exchange a disk drive module or a fan-and-power-supply assembly. If you need to exchange a raid ff card, a fc-al interface card, or a switch card, refer to the storagesmart -...
Attention: v disk drive modules are fragile. Handle them with care. Keep them well away from strong magnetic fields.
