vPOD Hot-Swap Procedure

NOTE: Although a vPOD attempts to notify the host computer that it is no longer present in the MV 4440, it is the responsibility of the host computer software to be aware of this status change. Do not remove a vPOD while critical data is being written from the host computer to the MV 4440.

1.On the back of the vPOD to be removed, change the MODE SELECT switch setting to “14”. (This option must be used to safely remove the device and preserve data). See Figure 8-1.

2.Press and hold-in the MODE SET button. Listen for a sequence of beeps. After the third sequence (that is, three equal-length tones) remove the vPOD from the MV 4440 chassis by removing all connected cables and unscrewing the two thumbscrews. See Figure 8-1.
