12 HP MSA 500 G2 Storage System Maintenance and Service Guide

−In RAID 1+0 configurations, any drives that are not mirrored to other removed or failed drives can be simultaneously replaced offline without data loss.

To remove the component:

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the storage system unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

1.Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs ("Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drive LEDs" on page 41).

2.Back up all data on the hard drive.

3.Remove the hard drive.

To replace the hot-plug SCSI hard drive:

1.Slide the drive into the cage until it clicks, locking the drive into place.

2.Close the lever.

3.Be sure that the drive LEDs illuminate one at a time and then turn off together to indicate that the system has recognized the new drive.

In fault-tolerant configurations, allow the replacement drive to be reconstructed automatically with data from the other drives. While reconstruction is in progress, the online LED flashes.
