Installing A Disk Drive - Hitachi AMS 2100 Hardware Manual

Installing a disk drive

Static-sensitive. Ground yourself before touching.
• To prevent part failures caused by an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
from your body, wear an anti-static wrist strap any time you are
handling unprotected parts, including while you are unpacking,
removing, or installing them.
• When you install a component, support its metal frame with one hand
and touch the metal frame with the hand that is wearing the wrist
strap.
CAUTION! Remove only one component at a time from an
operating array. Removing more than one component can cause
too much cooling air to be lost from the array. After several
minutes, this can cause the array to overheat or fail.
To add a disk drive to a unit:
1. Remove the dummy disk drive from the slot where you want to install a
new drive.
2. Remove the new disk drive from it's static-protective container.
3. Check the model number on the drive and make sure that it is the
correct model, type (SAS/SATA), capacity, and speed for the array.
4. Insert the disk drive into the desired slot.
a. Fit the disk drive in the guide rail of the AMS 2100/AMS 2300/
expansion unit (RKS/RKM/RKAK), and slide it in the direction shown
by the arrow.
b. Pull outward on the bottom of the lock tab to unlock the lock lever.
Then pull outward on the top of the lock lever until that tab on the
bottom is nearly horizontal.
c. Push the drive into the slot until it reaches the position where the tab
at the bottom of the of the lock lever can be entered into the slot at
the lower part of a frame on the front side of the disk array unit.
d. Push the lock lever inward, toward the unit in which the drive is
installed until the lock tab snaps closed. Push inward on the lock tab
to make sure it is locked.
NOTE: If the lock lever is closed too far when you insert the drive, the tab
at the bottom of the lever will hit the edge of the unit frame when you try
to install the drive. If this happens, open the lock lever enough to raise the
tab and slide the drive inward until the tab can be inserted into the slot in
the frame.
5. Pull the handle lightly to make sure that the disk drive cannot be
accidentally pulled out of the unit.
6. Install a dummy disk drive in each disk drive slot in which no disk drive
is installed. Insert it into the slot slowly so that the latch on the dummy
disk drive is on the right side when the drive is installed.
