◦ For drives in DE6000H (2U24) controller shelves or DE240S drive shelves, the release
button is located at the top of the drive. The cam handle on the drive springs open partially,
and the drive releases from the midplane.
3. Open the cam handle, and slide out the drive slightly.
4. Wait 30 seconds.
5. Using both hands, remove the drive from the shelf.
6. Place the drive on an antistatic, cushioned surface away from magnetic fields.
7. Wait 30 seconds for the software to recognize that the drive has been removed.
If you accidentally remove an active drive, wait at least 30 seconds, and then
reinstall it. For the recovery procedure, refer to the storage management
software.
5.2.3. Step 3: Install new drive (24-drive)
You install a new drive to replace the failed one. Install the replacement drive as soon as possible
after removing the failed drive. Otherwise, there is a risk that the equipment might overheat.
Steps
1. Open the cam handle.
2. Using two hands, insert the replacement drive into the open bay, firmly pushing until the drive
stops.
3. Slowly close the cam handle until the drive is fully seated in the midplane and the handle clicks
into place.
The green LED on the drive comes on when the drive is inserted correctly.
Depending on your configuration, the controller might automatically
reconstruct data to the new drive. If the shelf uses hot spare drives, the
controller might need to perform a complete reconstruction on the hot spare
before it can copy the data to the replaced drive. This reconstruction process
increases the time that is required to complete this procedure.
