Hot-plug hard disk drives
I
If your server is a version with EasyChange hard disk drives, this chapter
does not apply to you.
Upgrades, updates and replacement of non-hot-pluggable components
are described in the "Options Guide" or in the service supplement and
may only be performed by authorized specialist personnel.
V
CAUTION!
Follow the safety instructions in the chapter
page
23.
Up to six hot-plug hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY Econel
230R S1 Server.
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY Econel 230R S1
are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk
drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during operation. The
HDD drive and installation frame together make up the HDD module.
This chapter provides you with details of how to handle the HDD modules (see
page
73) and how to install and remove HDD modules on your server (see
page
75).
V
CAUTION!
The HDD must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone
except a service technician.
The HDD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they
can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not
done, existing data can be lost.
The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corre-
sponding RAID configuration.
Further information about RAID configuration or the RAID level can
be found in the RAID controller documentation (see
page
85).
V
CAUTION!
Hybrid operation using both SAS and SATA hard disk drives is not
supported.
