Installation Of Disk Drives - RAID Xanadu User Manual

4.2

Installation of Disk Drives

Disk drives have a plug-in structure. Plug in each disk drive slowly.
Carefully install disk drives one at a time.
While powered on, insert the next disk drive after disk drives previously inserted are in a ready
state.
Always use new SAS/SATA disk drives.
If a disk drive is diverted or reused, operation of the system cannot be guaranteed.
Refer to 4.4 "Installing and Removing Front Panel" regarding how to install or remove the
front panel.
1. Remove the front panel if installed.
2. Remove the dummy tray from where the additional disk drive will be installed.
3. Install the disk drive. (See the next page for details.)
4. Repeat steps (2) and (3) for each additional disk drive.
A disk drive is an electronic component.
When handling one, take measures against static electricity, such as using a
wrist strap.
If you do not have a wrist strap, firmly place one hand on the unpainted metal
surface of the disk drive before handling it.
You must mount three disk drives in locations 00, 01, and 02.
Do not take out more than one of the disk drives inserted in locations 00, 01,
and 02 at one time.
Do not expose the disk array unit to excessive vibration or shock because it is
precision equipment.
When replacing the disk drive, confirm that the model number of a new one is
the same as that to be replaced.
Disk drives include SAS drives and SATA drives.
This is printed on the front label.
