Installing an SAS Hard Disk Drive

Note The WAE-612 hardware supports hot-swappable SAS hard disk drives; however, you must be running WAAS 4.0.13 or a later version to obtain the software support for hot-swapping. If you are running a WAAS version prior to 4.0.13, we recommend that you power down your WAE-612 when swapping or installing new hard disk drives.

To install an SAS hard disk drive in the WAE-612, follow these steps:

Step 1 Inspect the new drive for any signs of damage.

Step 2 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1, and the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.

Step 3 Make sure that the chassis cover is in place and fully closed.

Step 4 Open the drive tray handle.

Step 5 Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive stops. (See Figure 4-7.)

Note If you are replacing disk00 in a WAE-612, you must install it in the left drive bay.
