3. Install and secure the replacement drive into the drive tray.
4. Slide the replacement drive/tray assembly fully into the slot, and push the hinged latch back into its
locked position. The LEDs on the front of the HDD should light to indicate that it has been
connected and is communicating properly.
5. Return the faceplate to its locked position.
Step 3: Add the New Drive to the System
When an HDD is replaced in an HT server, it must be added to the system:
1. In the Admin Menu, select Authenticate HDD.
2. Select Add, then select OK to proceed to the Add HDD window.
3. Enter the Serial Number for the new drive.
The Serial Number for each replacement drive is printed on a decal placed on the top panel of
the HDD.
When entering the Serial Number, use the following syntax (no quotes): "WD-
WXXXXXXXXXXX"
4. Enter the 16-digit Key supplied by AMX for that HDD (printed on a slip of paper included with the
replacement drive).
5. Select Restart MAX Daemon (in the Admin Menu).
6. Note: Restarting the MAX Daemon will disconnect WinMAX from the server.
7. Terminate the Telnet session.
The HT Server will rebuild the new drive and add it to the RAID array. There is no need to reboot the
server; the new drive is ready to use.
