Installing a Disk Module

13

This procedure describes how to install a disk module in an SSR212PP-Series storage system.

For greater clarity, the illustrations in this document show the storage system chassis independent of a cabinet or deskside mounting hardware.

Handling Disk Modules

Disk modules are extremely sensitive electronic components. Always handle a disk module gently, and observe the following guidelines:

Whenever possible or practical, replace a disk module with another of the same model. Refer to the SSR212PP support website for a list of approved disk replacements.

Follow the instructions in the section on handling FRUs in this document.

Disk modules are sensitive to the extreme temperatures sometimes encountered during shipping. It is recommended that you leave new disk modules in their shipping material, and expose the package to ambient temperature for at least four hours before attempting to use the new modules in your system.

Wear a properly attached ESD wristband when removing or replacing a disk module.

When removing a disk module, pull the module partially out of the slot, then wait 30 seconds for the drive to spin down before removing it.

Place modules on a soft, antistatic surface, such as an industry-standard antistatic foam pad or the container used to ship the module. Never place a disk module directly on a hard surface.

Never hit modules, stack modules, or allow them to tip over or fall.

Avoid touching any exposed electronic components and circuits on the disk module.

Do not remove a faulty disk module until you have a replacement module (with the same or an approved part number) or a filler module available. The part number (PN005xxxxxx) appears on the front of the module.

STEP 1. Read "Handling Field-Replaceable Units (FRU)" on page 59. If possible, have an ESD wriststrap attached to your wrist as you perform the following steps.

STEP 2. Unlock and remove the front bezel.
