6. Installing and Replacing Drive Carrier Modules
This chapter explains how to install a new drive carrier or replace an existing one in the
following sections:
• “Adding a Drive Carrier Module” on page 95
• “Replacing a Drive Carrier Module” on page 98
Note: The RAID controller supports hot-swap disk drive replacement while the storage
system is online: depending on the RAID level, a disk drive can be disconnected,
removed, or replaced with another disk drive without taking the storage system offline.
Caution: Observe all ESD precautions when handling modules and components. Avoid
contact with backplane components and module connectors. Failure to observe ESD
precautions could damage the equipment.
Adding a Drive Carrier Module
Note the following:
• All disk drive bays must be filled with either a drive carrier module or a dummy
drive; no bay should be left completely empty.
• The drives in bays 1/1 and 4/4 are required for enclosure management; these bays
must always be occupied.
To add a new disk drive module to the storage system, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that you have enough drive carrier modules and dummy modules to occupy
all bays.
2. Carefully open the bag containing the drive carrier module.
