Installing/Removing HDD/Dummy Module

FC Hard Disk Drives

Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drives.

The hard disk drives may be expose only to defined temperature and climatic conditions.

Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.

7.2Installing/Removing HDD/Dummy Module

VCAUTION!

Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the system is in operation if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array which is operating in RAID level 1 or 5.

VCAUTION!

The HDD modules must all be marked clearly (see also section “Identifi- cation Marks and Loop Addresses” on page 43) so that they can be put back into the original slots after an upgrade. If this is not taken into account, existing data can be destroyed.

The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY S60 storage subsystem are delivered as HDD modules which include the hard disk drive pre- installed in a carrier. Only a service technician may remove a hard disk drive from the carrier.

Free slots are provided with a dummy module (an empty carrier) which must be removed before installing an additional HDD module.

Removing the dummy module

ÊPress the upper and lower tabs on the dummy module together (see figure 15 on page 39) until the locking mechanism disengages, and remove the dummy module from the slot.

Installation of the dummy module occurs in reverse order.
