8.1.3 Hot-plug HDD/SSD modules
The hard disk drives or solid state disks which can be ordered for the
PRIMERGY RX600 S6 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so
that defective hard disk drives or solid state disks can be replaced and new
hard disk drives or solid state disks can be added during operation. The hard
disk drive or solid state disk and the installation frame together make up the
HDD/SSD module.
V CAUTION!
● The hard disk drive or solid state disk must not be removed from the
installation frame by anyone except a service technician.
● The HDD/SSD 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 or solid state disks. 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.
