Removal and replacement procedures

–
In RAID 1+0 configurations, any drives that are not mirrored to other
removed or failed drives can be simultaneously replaced offline without
data loss.
To remove the component:
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do
not operate the storage enclosure unless all bays are populated with
either a component or a blank.
1.
Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs.
2.
Back up all data on the hard drive.
3.
Remove the hard drive.
To replace the component:
1.
Slide the drive into the cage until it clicks, locking the drive into place.
2.
Close the lever.
IMPORTANT: When the drive is inserted, the drive LEDs flash for
2 seconds to indicate that the drive is seated properly and receiving
power.
3.
As the drive begins to spin, be sure that the drive LEDs illuminate one at a
time and then turn off together to indicate that the system has recognized the
new drive.
