5.5Dismounting Drive

Since the method and procedure for dismounting the disk drive for replacement of the drive, etc. depends on the locker structure of the system, etc., the work procedure must be determined in consideration of the requirements specific to the system. This section describes the general procedure and notes on dismounting the drive.

CAUTION

Damage

1.When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while power is supplied to it.

∙The drive to be dismounted must be separated from the loop. Dismounting the drive which is not separated from the loop may cause an unexpected error.

∙If the drive is not separated from the loop, issue an LPB to the drive from the initiator in a primitive sequence of the order set.

∙It is recommended to stop the spindle motor prior to this loop separation operation. The spindle motor can be stopped by a START/STOP command. It takes about 30 seconds for the spindle motor to stop completely.

∙Then, dismount the drive using the drive mounting/dismounting mechanism, etc. of the system. If the drive is dismounted while the spindle motor is running, special care is required to avoid excessive vibration or shock to the drive. It is recommended to stop the operation once the SCA connector breaks off contact and wait until the spindle motor stops (about 30 seconds) before dismount the drive.

∙When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic bag. (Shown in Section 5.1).

2.When dismounting the drive which is mounted on the system while power is not supplied to it.

∙Do not move the drive until the drive stops completely (about 30 seconds if the spindle motor was stopped by a START/STOP UNIT command, and about 30 seconds after powering-off when the power was simply turned off).

∙Then, dismount the drive using the drive mounting/dismounting mechanism, etc. of the system.

∙When storing or transporting the drive, put it in an antistatic bag. (Shown in Section 5.1).

Next in line is the Fujitsu MAG3091FC. This model takes the capabilities of its predecessor a step further with a capacity of 9.1 GB and similar 10,000 RPM speed. The MAG3091FC is also equipped with a 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, providing the same high-performance connectivity. Its reliability is enhanced with advanced error correction and a design that minimizes the risk of data loss, making it suitable for mission-critical applications where uptime is essential.

Lastly, the Fujitsu MAF3364FC hard drive is tailored for enterprise-level operations, featuring a capacity of 36.4 GB. It utilizes a 10,000 RPM spindle speed and is built with the same 2 Gbps Fibre Channel interface, ensuring swift access to stored data. The MAF3364FC stands out for its improved data integrity features, including sophisticated error correction codes and a robust design that enhances durability. Its higher capacity combined with fast access times makes it a versatile choice for data-intensive applications and large-scale storage solutions.

All three drives incorporate Fujitsu's commitment to innovation, featuring technologies like S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) for predictive failure analysis. They are designed to operate in demanding environments, ensuring that businesses can rely on them for consistent performance and data protection. In summary, the Fujitsu MAG3182FC, MAG3091FC, and MAF3364FC represent a powerful collection of enterprise-grade hard drives, providing advanced features and technologies that meet the rigorous demands of modern data storage needs.
