Important
Replacing a hard disk drive
To replace a hard disk drive, perform the following:
1. Slide the button on the front of the hard disk drive bay to the right. The bay's
door opens to the right, and, if present, the hard disk drive pops out of the bay,
disconnecting from the SATA data and power cables at the back of the drive
2. If present, remove the hard disk drive.
Slide this button
to the right to remove
this hard disk drive
3. Insert the new drive, and push the drive all the way to the back.
4. Close the drive door. Since the hard disk drive bays are connected to your installed
SHB(s), closing the door will automatically connect the hard disk drive to the
SATA bay connector of the SHB (to which the associated SATA cable is connected)
and to the unit's power source.
The hard disk drives are hot-swappable; that is, they can be added or removed
while the unit is still running. However, a drive that is running the operating
system of a Matrox Supersight SHB board is not hot-swappable. Note that,
although a drive(s) in RAID configuration could be hot-swappable, this process
is not recommended.
