Maintenance

NOTE:

1. The chance of BBU charger failure is comparatively low. If the cause

of a failure cannot be determined even after a BBU module is

replaced, contact your system vendor for a replacement controller and

return the controller module through the standard RMA procedure.

Details of the RMA procedure can be found on the Galaxy website.

2. It is recommended to include BBU failure as one of the Event

Triggered reaction item in firmware configuration utility. If so

configured, data caching will be temporarily disabled during the time

when a BBU fails.

Notes on PSU Module Maintenance

ƒ

Redundant (N+1) PSU modules: The subsystem comes with three fully

redundant, hot-swappable PSU modules. These modules are accessed

through the rear of the subsystem.

ƒ

Immediate replacement: When a PSU fails, it should ideally be replaced

immediately. Do not remove a PSU module unless a replacement is readily

available. Removing a PSU without a replacement will cause severe

disruptions to the internal airflow and the subsystem will overheat, possibly

causing irreparable damage to some of the subsystem components.

WARNING!

Although the PSU modules are fully redundant, it is not advisable to run

the subsystem with any failed PSU module for a long period of time. If a

second PSU module fails, the subsystem will enter an idle state to protect

the stored data.
