Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives

Up to six 3,5-Zoll SAS/SATA hard disk drives or twelf 2,5-Zoll SAS hard disk
drivescan be installed in the PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server.
The hard disk drives are mounted on a carrier that allows defective drives to be
replaced or new drives to be added online (hot-swap). The hard disk drive and
the carrier constitute the hard disk drive module (HDD module).
The hot-swap function (online replacement) can only be performed if the RAID
is configured appropriately. Further information about the RAID configuration or
RAID level can be found in the RAID controller documentation.
When replacing a HDD module, refer to the hard disk drive indicators in the table
on page 53 as well as

Handling Hard Disk Drives/HDD Modules

Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro-
magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is as likely as not that
incorrect handling will lead to partial and/or total failure of the hard disk drives.
These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total corruption
of the hard disk drive.
Please observe the following rules, which will help avoid such problems
occurring:
Store and transport HDD modules only within the limits stipulated in the
specification.
When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use
the original packaging (ESD labeling).
Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of
condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drive. The hard disk
drives may only be exposed to defined temperature and climatic conditions.
Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing
downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.
