After installing the hard disk, use the
proc restart hd_drv
and
proc mandatory on hd_drv
commands to
reduce the chances of data corruption.
Removing a Hard Drive
This section describes how to remove a hard drive from an RP or a DRP PLIM. Hard drives are available as
an option on both the RP and DRP PLIM and are removed in the same manner. For more detailed information
on the hard drives, see
About Hard Drives and PCMCIA Cards, on page 111
. The previous figure shows the
hard drive door location on the RP card. (The hard drive for the DRP PLIM is in a similar location.)
Prerequisites
The hard disk should be powered down prior to removal. This reduces the chances of data corruption. To
power down the hard disk prior to removal, use the
proc mandatory off hd_drv
and
proc shutdown hd_drv
commands.
Before performing this task, open the front (PLIM) side cosmetic doors (if installed).
Required Tools and Equipment
You need the following tools to perform this task:
• ESD-preventive strap
• Medium flat-head screwdriver
