7-8 Upgrading Your System

10.Firmly hold the additional hard disk drive (with the tray provided) and handle, and align it so that it engages the guide rails in the drive bay.

IMPORTANT:

!Push the hard disk drive until the handle hook butts to the frame.

!Carefully hold the hard disk drive with both hands.

11.Slowly lift the handle.

The handle is locked when a "click" is heard.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to get your finger caught between the handle and tray.

NOTE: Confirm that the handle is hooked to the frame when having inserted the hard disk drive.

12. Power on the server, start the SETUP utility, select [Boot] → [Hard Disk], and set the boot priority in the submenu.

This operation is necessary because installing an additional hard disk drive clears the current setting of the boot priority.

IMPORTANT:

!To add a hard disk during operation of the Global Array Manager (GAM), click the Scan Device key after about 90 seconds have passed from the installation of the hard disk. If you click the Scan Device key after executing the Expand Array, the added disk appears correctly.

!If a hard disk is added to the server operating in RAID1 by using the expand array feature, the RAID is automatically changed to RAID0+1. (However, it is not possible to set RAID0+1 directly by using a specific utility.)
