This non-concurrent MES procedure involves shifting down customer workload, adding 50 more HDDs to an existing IBM Elastic Storage System 5147-102 Storage Enclosure to fill up all 102 drive slots with HDDs, and returning the system to the customer for configuration of the new storage.
Figure 11. Installation rules to upgrade half-populated to fully populated configuration 8. Populate 50 new HDDs to the storage enclosure in the specified sequence shown in Figure 11 on page 8. 8 IBM Elastic Storage System 5147-10 Storage Enclosure: Service Guide...
9. Replacing the top lid to the enclosure. a. Align the top lid with the chassis. Ensure the six guide pins (three on each side of the chassis) are aligned with the guide pin openings (three on each side of the cover), and that the flange on the enclosure rear is properly aligned to the rear edge of the lid.
