Page 23: Chapter 2: Adding Modules
Chapter 2: Adding Modules Nexsan E48 and Nexsan E60 Storage Systems are designed so that adding data disks can be performed while the system is powered on and operating normally. Also, a second RAID Controller can be added to single-Controller systems, but this requires the system to be powered down. -
Page 24: Take Proper Esd Precautions
Take proper ESD precautions Take proper ESD precautions CAUTION: Computer components and disk drives are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always ground any electrostatic charge from your person before touching components with your hands or with any tools. Always use an anti-static wrist strap (one ships with each storage system) while installing or performing maintenance on any Nexsan Storage System. -
Page 25: Adding A Second Raid Controller
It is possible to upgrade a single-Controller system to a dual-Controller system by installing a second RAID Controller module. This is necessary if you want to attach a Nexsan Storage Expansion to the Nexsan E48 or Nexsan E60 Storage System or if you want to use any of the system modes that enable failover (see System Mode in the Nexsan High-Density Storage User Guide for more information). -
Page 26: Adding Disk Drives
Adding disk drives 6. Make sure that the new RAID Controller is right-side up. The Host ports should be at the top. 7. Insert the RAID Controller into the slot and carefully slide it back until the spring lock tab clicks. Figure 2-3: Inserting the new RAID controller 8. - Page 27 CAUTION: Where possible, always load disk drives in rows of four across the width of the drive drawer. Leaving large gaps between disk drives decreases cooling efficiency and may result in some disk drives overheating. 5. Close the drive drawer lid.
