9. Lower (close) the lever. Wait for the new drive to spin up.
10. Check the drive Activity and Fault indicators above the new drive sled.
The Activity indicator should be on (either blinking or steady) and the Fault
indicator should be off.
Note: The Fault indicator may flash intermittently while the drive spins up. The
Activity indicator will blink if data is currently being written to the new drive sled.
•
If the Activity indicator is off, the drive sled may not be installed correctly.
Remove the drive sled, wait 30 seconds, and then reinstall it.
•
If the Fault indicator stays on, or the Activity indicator stays off, the new drive
may be bad. Refer to the storage management software (TPSSM7) for problem
determination.
11. Refer to applicable software procedures (the storage management software
(TPSSM7) or other system software) for instructions on bringing the drive sled back
online.
Important: Depending on your storage array configuration, the storage array may
automatically reconstruct data to the new drive sled. If the array uses hot spares, it
may have to complete reconstruction on the hot spare before it copies the data to the
replaced drive. This increases the time required to complete this procedure. Use the
storage management software (TPSSM7) to determine the current status of the new
drive and the progress of any reconstruction or copyback.
Use the following procedure when instructed by the storage management software
(TPSSM7) to replace a failed fan canister.
Before starting this procedure, read "Fan Canister" on page 78.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive components. Use a grounded
wrist strap or other antistatic precautions before handling drive enclosure components.
