Caution: If the temperature of the shipping or storage environment differs significantly from
the temperature of the environment in which the drive module will be installed, acclimate the
drive module before you install it.
8. Wearing antistatic protection, slide the new drive module fully into the slot.
Caution: Partial insertion of a drive may cause the controller to mark other drives on the
same bus as failed. Install a drive in one complete motion. Make sure that you insert it all the
way into the slot and lock it into place.
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 module. 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 blinks when data is being written to the new drive module.
• If the activity indicator is off, the drive module could be installed incorrectly. Remove
the drive module, wait 30 seconds, and then reinstall it.
• If the fault indicator stays on, or if the activity indicator stays off, the new drive may be
bad. Use TPSSM to determine the problem.
11. See the applicable software procedures (for TPSSM or other system software) for
instructions on bringing the drive module back online.
Important: Depending on your storage array configuration, the storage array may
automatically reconstruct data to the new drive module. 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 TPSSM to determine the
current status of the new drive and the progress of any reconstruction or copyback.
