Chapter 6: Maintenance

Replace RAID Controller

The RAID Controller monitors and manages the logical drives. When this controller is replaced, all of your logical drive data and configurations remain

intact because this logical drive information is stored on the disk drives.

Caution

The RAID Controller is NOT a hot-swappable device. Power-down the VTrak before removing it.

Important

Do not replace the RAID Controller based on LED colors alone.

Only replace the RAID Controller when directed to do so by

Promise Technical Support. See page 245.

To remove and replace the RAID Controller, do the following:

1.Power down the VTrak.

2.Remove the network, SCSI and null modem cables.

3.Grasp the handle and pull it toward you (above, left).

4.Grasp the Controller and pull it out of the enclosure (above, center).

5.Gently slide the new Controller into the enclosure.

6.Press on the front to seat the Controller (above, right). The handle will swing in as the Controller is properly seated.

7.Attach the network, SCSI and null modem cables.

8.Power up the VTrak.

This completes the RAID Controller replacement procedure.
