Hot-Swap Disk Module Care and Relocation

Handle disk modules carefully. Disk modules are more susceptible to shock, vibration and electro-static discharge when they are not in the cabinet. Also, do not touch the SCSI edge connector pins when a disk module is out of the cabinet. The oils on your skin could weaken the contact.

Once the storage system has been configured and installed, a disk module should not be moved from one hot-swap shelf to another shelf. Relocating a disk module changes the SCSI address of that disk. If the SCSI address is changed, the storage system is not able to read the information on that disk and data will be lost.

Each disk module shelf is numbered. It is recommended that you mark each module with its shelf number prior to installation. If a disk module fails, remove the failed module and place a new module in the same shelf. Placing a replacement module in a different shelf or relocating a disk module will result in the loss of data.

Spin Up

The storage system must be powered up and the drives on the storage system allowed to “spin up” to speed before the HP NetServer is powered on. The drive activity light is on while the drive spins up. The light is off when the drive has spun up and there is no read/write activity. If the HP NetServer is powered on before the storage system is powered on and the drives have spun up, the host will not recognize the storage system devices.

NOTE If the SCSI addresses of the hot-swap shelves are set to 1-3 or 9-11, they are programmed to delay startup. Wait at least two minutes after the storage systems are powered up before powering up the host system if any SCSI address is set to 1-3 or 9-11.

Using an Uninterruptible Power Supply

It is recommended that you operate your storage system on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If you do, refer to the documentation included with the UPS for complete instructions on connecting your storage system. The recommended UPS budget for a fully loaded storage system is 600VA.
