8.1.3 Hot-plug HDD modules
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY RX600 S5 are
supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk
drives can be replaced and new hard disk drives can be added during operation.
The hard disk drive and the installation frame together make up the HDD
module.
V CAUTION!
● The hard disk drive must not be removed from the installation frame
by anyone except a service technician.
● The HDD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they
can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not
done, existing data can be lost.
● The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a
corresponding RAID configuration.
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can
be found in the RAID controller documentation.
● Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the
metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.
● Before removing the unit, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk
stops spinning completely.
● When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise
for a while, but this does not mean a failure.
● Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for
the hard disk drives. If a power failure should occur while the write
cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.
● When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out
the data on the drive for your own security.
● Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To
cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data.
When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make
backups on a file or partition basis.
● Be careful not to hit the hard disk unit or bring it into contact with
metallic objects.
● Use the device on a shock and vibration free surface.
