Guide for information about determining the cause of a problem.

Exchanging Disk Drive Modules

You can exchange a faulty disk drive module only if:

v You have a correct replacement disk drive module.
Figure 19. Disk Drive Module Handle and Capacity

Only disk drive modules that have a latch behind a handle 1 that you pull
upward to open, can be installed in the units of a ProFibre Storage Array. There
is a label 2 at the front of each disk drive module. This label indicates that the
disk drive module is an FC-AL disk drive module. It also shows the capacity of
the disk drive module. See Figure 19.
The replacement disk drive module should have at least the capacity of the disk
drive module being replaced.
