2-6 Installation Preparation
To move drives, the following conditions must be met:
Controller firmware should be the revision that shipped with your unit or
higher. Refer to the Smart Start and Support Software CD included in
this kit.
System power is OFF (includes all system components).
The move will not result in more than 15 physical drives connected to a
single SCSI bus, or more than 32 logical drives (volumes) connected to a
single controller.
No failed drives identified. The array should be in its original
configuration with no active spare drives.
Drives in each array must maintain the same relative positions before
and after drive movement as shown in Figure 2-2.
When the above conditions are met, follow these steps to move drives:
1. Power system OFF.
2. Move drives.
3. Power system ON. A 1724 POST message should indicate that drive
positions were changed and the configuration was updated.
4. Run Array Configuration Utility to view the new drive configuration
(optional).

message, turn the system off immediately to avoid data loss and
return the drives to their original locations.
