Attention: Orient drives horizontally and place them in applicable ESD bags or
containers before relocation. In transit, use moving equipment that prevents
shock to the drives. Never stack drives.

Step 5: Inserting drives

Note:
1. When you migrate hard disk drives from multiple storage subsystems to a
single storage subsystem, move all of the hard disk drives from each storage
subsystem as an independent set. Ensure that all hard disk drives are
transferred before you move another set. If you do not transfer hard disk drives
as sets, the newly relocated arrays/logical drives that are defined by using
these drives might not appear in the Storage Subsystem Management window.
2. Ensure that the drives are compatible with the storage enclosure. For example,
insert a 2-GB drive into a storage enclosure that supports 2-GB drives.
3. The Import Array function is available on storage subsystems or storage
enclosures with controller firmware level 7.xx or later and Storage Manager
software version 10.xx or later.
Important: Insert migrated drives one at a time while the storage subsystem is
turned on and is optimal state to prevent any drive migration problems.
To insert the drives in the target migration storage subsystem, complete the
following steps:
