This method requires that you back up the data on the affected drives and then turn off the storage server. After replacing all the drives, you must reconfigure the new drives and restore data from backup. See the procedure in “Replacing all drives at the same time.”...
Page 110 8. After you install all the new drives, check the system documentation for the hardware devices that you intend to power up, and then determine the proper startup sequence. Use the following power-on sequence, where applicable: IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User’s Guide...
Page 111: Replacing The Drives One At A Time
a. Turn on the power to the supporting devices (for example, Ethernet switches and management stations) before you turn off power to the storage server. b. You must turn on the storage expansion enclosures before the storage server. The controllers might not recognize the correct configuration if the drives are powered up after the storage server.
Page 112 Note: The Drive fault LEDs might flash intermittently while the drives spin up. v If the Drive activity LED is off, the drive CRU might not be installed correctly. Remove the drive CRU, wait 30 seconds, and then reinstall it. IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User’s Guide...

v If the Drive fault LED stays on or the Drive activity LED stays off, the new drive might be faulty. See the Storage Manager client for problem determination. 8. Use the Storage Manager client to monitor the status of the new drive and the progress of the data reconstruction.

One power supply CRU can maintain electrical power to the unit if the other power supply is turned off or malfunctions. The power supply CRUs are interchangeable (by reversing the locking levers). IBM TotalStorage DS4300 Fibre Channel Storage Server: Installation and User’s Guide...
Page 115 Each power supply CRU has a built-in sensor that detects the following conditions: v Over-voltage v Over-current v Overheated power supply If any of these conditions occurs, one or both power supplies will shut down. All power remains off until you cycle the power switches (turn the power switches off, wait at least 30 seconds, then turn the power switches on).

v The cache battery is not included with the controller FRU. v Ensure that you replace the failed controller with the appropriate FRU. There are no protection mechanisms to block out an incorrect FRU from being inserted into DS4300 controller slots. Unpredictable results can occur when nonmatching controller FRUs are present in a single DS4300 chassis.
