of the drive at the back. See
Figure 15-5.
2 Align the screw holes on the hard drive with the back set of holes on the
hard-drive carrier.

the hard-drive carrier.

RAID Controller Module
An MD3200 Series storage array supports single as well as dual RAID
controller configurations. If only one RAID controller module is installed in
your array, it must be installed in slot 0. You must install the RAID controller
module blank in slot 1.
CAUTION: RAID controller modules can be removed and installed without turning
off the array. It is recommended that you do not remove the RAID controller module
while data is being transferred. Replacing or installing a RAID controller module
that is connected to a host server causes it to loose communication with the array
and may require a reboot of the host server.
Removing a RAID Controller Module Blank
CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, you must install a RAID controller
module blank in the empty slot.
1
Turn off the array and host server.
2
Disconnect all the power cables connected to the array.
3
To remove the RAID controller module blank, press down on the release
latch and pull the blank away from the array. See Figure 15-7.
4
Install RAID controller modules in slot 0 and 1. See "Installing a RAID
Controller Module" on page 212.
