8.1.3Hot-plug HDD modules
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY RX600 S5 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk drives can be replaced and new hard disk drives can be added during operation. The hard disk drive and the installation frame together make up the HDD module.
VCAUTION!
●The hard disk drive 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
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can be found in the RAID controller documentation.
●Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.
●Before removing the unit, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk stops spinning completely.
●When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise for a while, but this does not mean a failure.
●Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for the hard disk drives. If a power failure should occur while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.
●When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out the data on the drive for your own security.
●Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make backups on a file or partition basis.
●Be careful not to hit the hard disk unit or bring it into contact with metallic objects.
●Use the device on a shock and vibration free surface.
