Attention:
When
you
handle
static-sensitive
devices,
take
precautions
to
avoid
damage
from
static
electricity.
For
details
about
handling
static-sensitive
devices,
see
4.
Unpack
the
new
drives.
Set
the
drives
on
a
dry,
level
surface
away
from
magnetic
fields.
Save
the
packing
material
and
documentation
in
case
you
need
to
return
the
drives.
5.
Use
the
storage
management
software
to
ensure
that
the
array
that
was
defined
using
these
drives
is
in
optimal
(not
degraded)
state
before
manually
failing
the
first
drive
you
want
to
replace.
If
the
array
is
in
degraded
state,
use
the
recovery
procedures
to
bring
the
array
into
the
optimal
state.
Make
sure
that:
v
You
fail
only
one
drive
v
The
software
status
display
shows
a
failed
status
for
the
appropriate
drive
v
The
amber
Drive
fault
LED
(on
the
front
bezel
below
the
drive)
is
on
Attention:
Removing
the
wrong
drive
can
cause
data
loss.
Make
sure
that
you
remove
only
the
failed
drive
CRU.
The
Drive
fault
LED
below
the
failed
drive
CRU
should
be
on.
If
you
remove
an
active
drive
accidentally,
wait
at
least
70
seconds
for
the
drive
to
properly
spin
down
and
then
reinstall
it.
Because
you
failed
two
drives
in
a
RAID
array,
the
array
might
be
marked
failed
by
the
controller.
This
array
will
not
be
available
to
the
host
for
I/O.
See
the
DS4000
Storage
Manager
client
for
further
recovery
instructions.
Do
not
attempt
to
replace
any
drives
until
the
array
is
brought
back
to
optimal
state.
Call
IBM
support
for
help
if
you
are
unable
to
get
the
array
back
online.
6.
Use
the
procedures
in
to
remove
the
failed
drive.
Use
the
procedures
in
to
install
the
new
drives
into
the
storage
server.
The
new
drive
automatically
reconstructs
the
data
after
you
install
it
in
the
drive
slot.
During
data
reconstruction,
the
amber
Drive
fault
LED
might
come
on
for
a
few
minutes,
then
turn
off
when
the
green
Drive
activity
LED
begins
flashing.
A
flashing
Drive
activity
LED
indicates
that
data
reconstruction
is
in
progress.
Note:
If
your
storage
subsystem
has
active
hot
spares,
data
might
not
start
copying
to
the
new
drive
until
the
data
is
reconstructed
on
the
hot
spare.
This
increases
the
time
that
is
required
to
complete
the
procedure.
7.
Check
the
green
Drive
activity
LED
and
the
amber
Drive
fault
LED
below
the
new
drive
CRUs.
Make
sure
that
the
Drive
activity
LEDs
are
on
and
the
Drive
fault
LEDs
are
off.
Note:
The
Drive
fault
LEDs
might
flash
intermittently
while
the
drives
spin
up.
v
If
the
Drive
activity
LED
is
off,
the
drive
CRU
might
not
be
installed
correctly.
Remove
the
drive
CRU,
wait
at
least
70
seconds
for
the
drive
to
properly
spin
down,
and
then
reinstall
it.
v
If
the
Drive
fault
LED
stays
on
or
the
Drive
activity
LED
stays
off,
the
new
drive
might
be
faulty.
See
the
DS4000
Storage
Manager
client
for
problem
determination.
