8 Hot-plug hard disk drives

IUpgrades, updates and replacement of non-hot-pluggable components are described in the “Options Guide” or in the service supplement and may only be performed by authorized specialist personnel.

VCAUTION!

Follow the safety instructions in the chapter “Important information” on page 21.

Up to four hot-pluggable hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY TX120 server.

The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY TX120 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during operation. The HDD drive and installation frame together make up the HDD module.

This chapter provides you with details of how to handle the HDD modules (see page 62) and how to install and remove HDD modules on your server (see page 64).

VCAUTION!

●The HDD must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone except a service technician.

●The HDD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not done, existing data can be lost.

●The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corre- sponding RAID configuration.

Further information about RAID configuration or the RAID level can be found in the RAID controller documentation (see “Literature” on page 77).
