Chapter 12 Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Replacement 12-5
8. Mount the replacement HDD by following the removal instructions in Step 6 in
reverse order. Align the HDD with the slot guides, insert it carefully, and
secure it firmly.
Caution – Do not forcibly push the HDD when inserting it, even if it is not moving
smoothly. If the HDD is forcibly inserted despite the presence of any problem with a
connector pin, serious damage may result.
Do not insert an HDD into a slot while the eject/lock lever is closed. If an HDD is
inserted in this condition, it is stopped halfway and becomes difficult to pull out.
9. Configure the HDD into the system.
From the OS, execute the cfgadm -x led=fault,mode=off <Ap_Id>
command to turn off the CHECK LED.
10. Configure the HDD into the OS.
The procedure of configuring the HDD into the OS varies depending on whether
or not using the disk mirroring software or other supporting software. When you
are not using such kind of software, you can use the cfgadm command to
configure the target into the OS. After configured, conduct the necessary
operation such as format, as required. When you are using the above software,
see the manual of that software for how to configure the disk.
The READY LED (green) of the HDD is turned on.
