8.1.2.7 Removing the HDD module
V CAUTION!
● Only remove a HDD module during operation if the drive is not
currently being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the
corresponding HDD modules (see "Hard disk drive indicators" on
page 72).
● Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the
system is in operation if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is
operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is
operating in RAID level 1, 5 or 6.
A HDD module can only be replaced during operation in conjunction
with a corresponding RAID configuration.
● All HDD modules (drives) must be uniquely identified so that they can
be reinstalled in their original mounting locations later. If this is not
done, existing data can be lost.
If you want to remove a HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê If you want to remove a HDD module that is not defective, the drive must be
first set to "Offline" via the software (RAID controller configuration software).
Ê Unlock the HDD module as described in section "Unlocking the HDD
module" on page 100.
Ê Pull the HDD module out a few centimeters.
Ê Wait for at least 60 seconds.
I This period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that a
HDD module has been removed and for the hard disk drive to come
to a stop.
Ê Pull the HDD module out completely.
