You can hot-swap a failed disk drive in a DS224C or DS212C disk shelf. Before you begin • The disk drive that you are installing must be supported by the DS224C or DS212C disk shelf. NetApp Hardware Universe • All other components in the system must be functioning properly; if not, contact technical support.

• The best practice is to have the current versions of disk shelf (IOM) firmware and disk drive firmware on your system before adding new disk shelves, shelf FRU components, or SAS cables. Current versions of firmware can be found on the NetApp Support Site. NetApp Downloads: Disk Shelf Firmware NetApp Downloads: Disk Drive Firmware •...

d. Place the drive on a flat, static-free surface and away from magnetic devices. Possible loss of data access: Magnetic fields can destroy all data on the drive and cause irreparable damage to the drive circuitry. To avoid loss of data access and damage to the drives, always keep drives away from magnetic devices.

Positioning the drawer slightly to the right of center helps to ensure that the lock-out tumbler and the drawer guide are correctly engaged. 3. Slide the drive drawer into the slot, and ensure that the drawer guide slides under the lock-out tumbler. Risk of equipment damage: Damage occurs if the drawer guide does not slide under the lock-out tumbler.

Raised button on the right side of the drive. e. Lower the drive straight down, and then rotate the drive handle down until the drive snaps into place. If you have a partially populated shelf, meaning that the drawer in which you are reinstalling drives has less than the 12 drives it supports, install the first four drives into the front slots (0, 3, 6, and 9).
Page 29
f. Repeat these substeps to reinstall all of the drives. 6. Slide the drawer back into the drive shelf by pushing it from the center and closing both levers. Risk of equipment malfunction: Make sure to completely close the drive drawer by pushing both levers.

Steps 1. Put on antistatic protection. 2. Unpack the new fan module, and place it on a level surface near the shelf. Save all packing material for use when returning the failed fan. 3. From the back of the disk shelf, look at the Attention LEDs to locate the fan module you need to remove. You must replace the fan module that has its Attention LED on.

6. Verify that you bypassed the disk shelves you are removing and reestablished the path A (IOM A) stack connections correctly: storage disk show -port For HA pair configurations, you run this command from the clustershell of either controller. It might take up to a minute for the system to complete discovery.

If you are moving the DS460C shelf to a different part of the data center or transporting it to a different location, see the following section, Move or transport DS460C shelves. Move or transport DS460C shelves If you move a DS460C shelf to a different part of the data center or transport the shelf to a different location, you need to remove the drives from the drive drawers to avoid possible damage to the drive drawers and drives.

For each module port that you cabled, the LNK (green) LED illuminates when one or more of the four SAS lanes have established a link (with either an adapter or another disk shelf). 14. Return the failed part to NetApp, as described in the RMA instructions shipped with the kit.
Hot-swap a power supply - shelves with IOM12 modules You can hot-swap a failed power supply in a DS460C, DS224C, or DS212C disk shelf. Before you begin All other components in the system—including the other power supply—must be functioning properly.
Page 48
6. Use the cam handle to slide the power supply out of the disk shelf. If you have a DS224C or DS212C disk shelf, as you remove the power supply, a flap swings into place to block the empty bay, helping to maintain air flow and cooling.
The LEDs on the disk shelf front operator display panel indicate whether your disk shelf is functioning normally or there are problems with the hardware. The following table describes the three LEDs on the operator display panel used in DS460C, DS224C, and DS212C disk shelves:...
Page 50
Depending on your disk shelf model, the operator display panel looks different; however, the three LEDs are arranged in the same way. The following illustration is of a DS224C disk shelf operator display panel with the end cap on: IOM12 module LEDs The LEDs on the IOM12 module indicate whether the module is functioning normally, whether it is ready for I/O traffic, and whether there are any problems with the hardware.
