Working with hot-swap E-DDMs

This section explains how you can increase the storage subsystem capacity by
adding more E-DDMs or by replacing existing E-DDMs with ones that have a larger
capacity.
Before you begin, complete the following tasks:
v Read the safety and handling guidelines in "Safety" on page xiii and in "Handling
v Ensure that your current system configuration is working properly.
v Back up all important data before you make changes to data storage devices.
v Ensure that you wear an anti-static wrist strap.
Attention: To prevent damage to the drive enclosure:
v For drive enclosures without disk drawers, do not force the drive into the
drive slot at an angle. Ensure that you carefully insert each hard disk drive
straight into the drive slot (horizontal or vertical).
The following figure shows correct and incorrect ways of inserting a hard disk
drive into a horizontal drive slot. The subsystem shown in the figure is for
illustration only.
v For drive enclosures with disk drawers, gently press on the back of the drive
while pulling the lever downward to push the drive into the connector on the
