Inserting the Replacement Drive into the SonicWALL
UMA EM5000
Warning: Do not insert anything other than the SonicWALL
approved hard drive into the SonicWALL UMA
EM5000.
To view the hard drive array and insert the replacement drive
into the SonicWALL UMA EM5000, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the hard drive and the drive number stickers from
the replacement drive shipping carton.
2. Depending on which drive you are replacing, apply the
appropriate sticker to the drive handle. While holding the
drive with the label side up, place the sticker near the edge
of the handle next to the square button.
3. In the appliance Web interface, navigate to the System >
RAID page.
4. Pop open the drive handle on the new hard drive by
pressing the square button.
5. Insert the drive into the empty slot, label side up with the
handle sticking out.
6. Press the drive firmly into place to seat the connectors, and
then close the handle.
7. Click Refresh on the System > RAID page. You will see
the drive slot status change to DEGRADED, and the Array
Status change to REBUILD-PAUSED.
The DEGRADED drive status indicates that the RAID
controller senses that data is missing from the drive. The
Array Status will change to REBUILDING within a few
minutes.
8. You may continue to use your SonicWALL UMA EM5000
while the RAID controller rebuilds the array with the new
drive. The rebuilding process requires at least three hours.
When finished rebuilding, the status for both the drive and
the array changes to OK on the System > RAID page.
9. Re-install the front bezel, being sure to properly line up the
LCD connectors. The best practice is to align and seat the
right side of the bezel (as you are facing the front of the
SonicWALL UMA EM5000), then view the connectors from
above as you carefully press the left side of the bezel into
place.
10. Lock the bezel with th e front bezel security key.
