Install new drive

You install a new drive to replace the failed one. Install the replacement drive as soon as possible after
removing the failed drive.
Before you begin
• You have a replacement drive that is supported by Fujitsu for your controller shelf or drive shelf.
Procedure
1. Open the cam handle.
2. Using two hands, insert the replacement drive into the open bay, firmly pushing until the drive stops.
3. Slowly close the cam handle until the drive is fully seated in the midplane and the handle clicks into place.
The green LED on the drive comes on when the drive is inserted correctly.
Note: Depending on your configuration, the controller might automatically reconstruct data to the new
drive. If the shelf uses hot spare drives, the controller might need to perform a complete reconstruction on
the hot spare before it can copy the data to the replaced drive. This reconstruction process increases the
time that is required to complete this procedure.
