7.3Hot Swap for FC HDD Modules

VCAUTION!

The hot-swap function can only be performed together with a corre- sponding RAID configuration.

Only pull out a HDD module if the drive is not being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD module (see section “The Control LEDs for the Hard Disk Drives” on page 18).

If you want to replace an FC HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:

ÊIf you want to pull out a HDD module which is not defective, it must be set to “Offline“ via software (RAID controller configuration software), and/or it must be prepared for removal by the “prepare to remove” command.

ÊPull out the HDD module (defective/not defective) by a few centimeters.

ÊWait for at least 60 seconds.

IThis period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that a HDD module has been pulled out and for the hard disk drive to come to a stop.

ÊPull out the HDD module right.

ÊInsert the new HDD module.

When you have removed the HDD module and are not replaced with a new module, then insert a dummy module into the empty slot. Ensure that the dummy module engages in the slot correctly.
