Chapter 4 Installing Hardware Options for the WAVE-594 and WAVE-694
Replacing a Hard Disk Drive/Solid State Drive
Note The WAVE-594 supports both Solid State Drives and Hard Disk Drives. You cannot mix HDD and SSD
in the same chasis.
For details about the WAVE-594 appliance specifications, see Appendix A, “Appliance Specifications”.
Hard drives are hot-swappable therefore it is not necessary to power the system down before installing
or replacing.
When removing hard drives from the WAVE appliance, observe the following general guidelines:
• The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
• Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are
grouped together into the same drive array.
Note All hard disk drives being used in the appliance must be identical.
Caution To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the appliance for more than 1 minute without either
a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
To replace a hard disk drive in a bay, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings and Cautions” section on page 2-1 and the “Safety
Guidelines” section on page 2-2.
Step 2 Press the button and swing the handle out. (See Figure 4-2).
Note Wait 5 seconds before removing to let the disk spin down.
