Transporting Compactflash; Replacing A Ddic - Dell EMC ME4 Series Owner's Manual

Transporting CompactFlash

This action applies to single-controller enclosure configurations only. To prevent data loss in this environment, the CompactFlash must be
moved from the failed controller to the new controller module.
CAUTION: Do not transport CompactFlash in a dual-controller environment. Doing so could cause data corruption.

Before you begin any procedure, see
1 Locate the CompactFlash memory card at the midplane-facing end of the failed controller module.
2 Grip the CompactFlash memory card and carefully pull it from the slot in the failed controller module.
3 Label the CompactFlash memory card as Data, and set it aside for safekeeping.
4 Locate the replacement controller module, and carefully remove its installed CompactFlash memory card.

5 Align the CompactFlash memory card labeled Data for insertion into the replacement controller module—then insert it into the slot—
and push it forward until seated in place.

Replacing a DDIC

This procedure describes removal and installation of a Disk Drive in Carrier (DDIC). Illustrations in the DDIC replacement procedures show
drawer-centric views of the enclosure, and DDICs are properly aligned for insertion into the disk slots.
NOTE: Remove a DDIC only if a replacement is available. Closing a drawer with one or more drives missing can potentially cause
cooling problems. See
1 Determine which drawer contains the disk to be replaced.
• If the drive number is known, use the information contained in
from front panel, which provides a single plan view of a drawer that is dual-indexed with top drawer (left integer) and bottom
drawer (right integer) slot numbering.
