Replacing a dummy drive carrier

A dummy drive carrier module is removed from the enclosure simply by pulling the module out of the drive slot. A
dummy drive carrier module is installed in the enclosure by properly aligning it and inserting it into the drive slot,
followed by pushing it securely into place.
CAUTION: To ensure optimal cooling throughout the enclosure, dummy drive carrier modules must be fitted to all
unused drive slots. See also

Replacing an IOM

IMPORTANT: The 5005/4005 Series storage enclosures support SBB dual-controller configuration only.
Single-controller support is provided only when a controller fails over to its partner controller. A controller module must
be installed in each IOM slot to ensure sufficient air flow through the enclosure during operation.
I/O module (IOM) denotes either a controller module (RAID canister) or an expansion module (expansion canister). In a
dual-controller configuration, controller and expansion modules are hot-swappable, which means you can replace one
module without halting I/O to disk groups, or powering off the enclosure. In this case, the second module takes over
operation of the storage system until you install the new module.
You may need to replace a controller module or an expansion module when:
The Fault LED is illuminated
Health status reporting in the SMC indicates a problem with the module
Events in the SMC indicate a problem with the module
Troubleshooting indicates a problem with the module
