– Always wear an ESD wrist strap grounded to an unpainted surface on your storage
enclosure chassis. If a wrist strap is unavailable, touch an unpainted surface on your
storage enclosure chassis before handling the drive.
Handle drives carefully
– Always use two hands when removing, installing, or carrying a drive.
– Never force a drive into a unit. Use gentle, firm pressure to completely engage the
drive latch.
– Place drives on cushioned surfaces, and never stack drives on top of each other.
– Do not bump drives against other surfaces.
– Before removing a drive, unlatch the handle and wait 30 seconds for the drive to spin
down.
– Always use approved packaging when shipping drives.
Avoid magnetic fields
– Keep drives away from magnetic devices. Magnetic fields can destroy all data on the
drive and cause irreparable damage to the drive circuitry.

If the Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager has notified you of an impending drive
failure, but the drive has not yet failed, follow the instructions in the Recovery Guru to fail
the drive.
If needed, use SANtricity System Manager to confirm you have a suitable replacement
drive.
– Select Hardware.
– Select the failed drive on the unit graphic.
– Click the drive to display the context menu, then select View settings.
– Confirm that the replacement drive has a capacity equal to or greater than the drive
you are replacing and that it has the features you expect.
For example, do not attempt to replace a hard disk drive (HDD) with a solid-state
disk (SSD). Similarly, if you are replacing a secure-capable drive, make sure the
replacement drive is also secure-capable.
If needed, use SANtricity System Manager to locate the drive within the unit.
– If the unit has a bezel, remove it so you can see the LEDs.
– From the drive's context menu, select Turn on locator light.
The drive drawer's amber Attention LED blinks so you can open the correct drive
drawer to identify which drive to replace.
Note: The drive drawer Attention LEDs are on the left side in front of each drive, with
