Hot-Plug Hard Disk Drives - Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX600 S3 SAS Operating Manual

Hot-plug hard disk drives

V
CAUTION!
Never leave the slot for the fan unit empty for more than two minutes.
Otherwise, system components may be damaged due to increases in
temperature.
Ê Slide the new fan unit into the empty slot and push the handle until it locks
into place.
The new fan unit will be tested by Server Management. The corresponding
LED (3) is then unlit (fan is working correctly) or lights up orange (fan is not
working correctly).
8.3 Hot-plug hard disk drives
Up to eight SAS hard-disk drives can be installed on the server.
The hot-plug hard disk drives are fitted in a hard disk drive carrier, which allows
new drives to be added and defective drives to be replaced while the server is
online. The hard disk drive and the carrier make up the hard disk drive module
(HDD module).
V
CAUTION!
Only a service engineer is permitted to remove a hard disk drive from the
carrier.
V
CAUTION!
The HDD modules must be marked clearly so that they can be replaced
in their original slots after an upgrade. If this is not done, existing data
may be lost.
V
CAUTION!
The "hot plug" function can only be used in conjunction with a corre-
sponding RAID configuration.
You will find more information about RAID configuration and the RAID
level in the RAID controller documentation (see
page 109).
