Inserting the Expansion Pack Drives

Warning: Do not insert anything other than the SonicWALL approved hard drives into the SonicWALL CDP appliance.

The Web management interface provides a graphical view of the hard drive arrays on the SonicWALL CDP 6080 appliance. The best practice is to view the arrays on the System > RAID page during the insertion process.

To physically access the hard drive arrays, you must remove the front bezel. If the front bezel is locked, use the front bezel security key supplied with your appliance to unlock it.

To view the hard drive arrays and insert the Expansion Pack drives into the SonicWALL CDP appliance, perform the following steps:

1.In the Web management interface, navigate to the System > RAID page. The Secondary Array appears as black rectangles above the Main Array, indicating that no drives are present.

2.On your SonicWALL CDP appliance, use the front bezel key to unlock the front bezel, then remove the front bezel to expose the hard drive arrays.

3.Press the square buttons to pop out the handles and then remove the place holder inserts from slots D4, D5, D6, and D7 of the top array. The inserts prevent dust and foreign objects from getting into the drive slots.

Warning: Be careful not to remove the hard drives from the Main Array (slots D0, D1, D2, and D3) while the appliance is powered on. Removing more than one drive from an active array will cause loss of data.

4.Remove the hard drives from the Expansion Pack shipping carton.

5.Apply the stickers for D4, D5, D6, and D7 to the drive handles. While holding the drive with the label side up, place the sticker near the edge of the handle next to the square button.

6.Pop open the drive handle on the D4 hard drive by pressing the square button and insert the drive into slot D4 (the left-most slot) of the Secondary Array, label side up with the handle sticking out.

7.Press the drive firmly into place to seat the connectors and then close the handle.

8.Pop open the handles on the D5, D6, and D7 drives and insert them into slots D5, D6, and D7, respectively. Press firmly to seat the connectors, and then close the handles.
