NEC NF2300-SE41E manual Installation procedure

Page 42

When you change a failing disk to a spare disk, confirm the following to get the spare disk to function normally:

The capacity of the spare disk is equal to or greater than that of the failing disk.

The rotational speed of the spare disk is equal to or faster than that of the failing disk.

Therefore, if a large-capacity disk is defined as a spare disk, it can cover all the disks of a high-speed drive. However, if your disk array unit contains disks of different capacities or different rotational speeds, you should define a spare disk matching the capacity and rotational speed of each disk in order to clarify disk management.

Up to 2 spare disks can be installed for each disk enclosure. Up to 16 spare disks can be installed for the entire disk array unit.

<Installation procedure>

Disk drives may be installed in the additional disk enclosure with the powers of the additional disk enclosure, disk array unit, and host unit being ON.

For the replacement of one or more dummy trays and disk drives, replace them one by one. Do not remove two or more dummy trays at a time.

(1)Putting of location label

Before installing the disk drive, select the location label appropriate to the location where the disk enclosure is to be installed, and put it on the additional disk drive.
