Install the Drive Module

Most of the documentation that accompanies your newly purchased
module is related to other products in which it may be installed. For
the HD Server, use the following installation instructions instead.
To use a replacement that is on hand, also use these instructions.
Disk drives are more susceptible to shock, vibration, and
electrostatic discharge when they are not installed in the server.
To avoid physical damage:
Hard disk drives are very susceptible to mechanical shock and
can be damaged by a drop as short as one-quarter of an inch.
Take care when unpacking and handling the disk drive. If the
drop would crack an egg, it will probably damage the drive.
To avoid electrostatic damage:
Protect the hard disk drive from static electricity by leaving it
in its anti-static bag until you are ready to install it. Before
handling the hard disk drive module, touch a grounded
unpainted metal surface (such as the rear sheet-metal surface
on the HD Server) to discharge static electricity. When you
remove the drive module from the anti-static bag, handle it only
by the frame or tray.
Do not touch the electrical components. Place the module on the
anti-static bag whenever you set it down.
To avoid damage to the SCSI connection:
Do not touch the SCSI edge connector pins; the oils on your skin
could weaken the contact.
1. Notify users of the interruption in service while the server is
shut down, and recommend that they close all files. It may take
one or two hours to complete an expansion of the volume. If the
drive is not immediately added to the volume or if it is added as
a spare, the interruption instead may take several minutes
only.
