5.3. Replace drive in DE2000H or DE4000H (60-drive shelf)
You can replace a drive in a DE2000H or DE4000H with a 60-drive shelf.
5.3.1. About this task
The Recovery Guru in ThinkSystem System Manager monitors the drives in the storage array and
can notify you of an impending drive failure or an actual drive failure. When a drive has failed, its
amber Attention LED is on. You can hot-swap a failed drive while the storage array is receiving I/O
operations.
This procedure applies to DCM and DCM2 drive shelves.
This procedure is for like-for-like shelf IOM hot-swaps or replacements. This

means you can only replace an IOM12 module with another IOM12 module or
replace an IOM12B module with another IOM12B module. (Your shelf can have
two IOM12 modules or have two IOM12B modules.)
5.3.2. Before you begin
• Review the drive handling requirements in
replacement.
What you'll need
• A replacement drive that is supported by Lenovo for your controller shelf or drive shelf.
• An ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.
• A management station with a browser that can access ThinkSystem System Manager for the
controller. (To open the System Manager interface, point the browser to the controller's domain
name or IP address.)
5.3.3. Step 1: Prepare to replace drive
Prepare to replace a drive by checking the Recovery Guru in ThinkSystem System Manager and
completing any prerequisite steps. Then, you can locate the failed component..
Steps

failure, but the drive has not yet failed, follow the instructions in the Recovery Guru to fail the
drive.
2. If needed, use ThinkSystem System Manager to confirm you have a suitable replacement drive.
a. Select Hardware.
b. Select the failed drive on the shelf graphic.
