EonStor A08U/A12U-G2421 Installation and Hardware Reference Manual
Figure 5- 11: Forearm Handle Locking Mechanism
Front flap mechanism: Do not leave a drive tray’s front flap open. The front flap and its
key-lock secure a drive tray to chassis slot. A disk drive operating with the half-open
front bezel may result in signal glitches and Data Compare Errors might ensue.
Remove drives slowly: Although the drive trays are designed to be hot-swappable, when
removing a drive tray from the subsystem, withdraw it from the chassis slowly.
Removing the drive tray too quickly may cause a drive I/O timeout.
Replacement on hand: If a hard drive has failed, make sure you have a replacement hard
drive readily available before removing the failed drive from the subsystem. Do not leave
the drive tray slot open for an extended period of time. If the drive tray slot is left
unoccupied for an extended period of time, the airflow will be disrupted and subsystem
components will overheat and may be permanently damaged.
