Disk modules
Each disk module consists of a Fibre Channel disk drive in a carrier assembly. If a
disk drive fails, and needs replacing, you can do so while the RAID Storage Chassis
is powered up. Replacement disk drives take 3-4 minutes to begin rebuild after being
installed. (See
“Removing and installing disk modules” on page 44
.)
The disk drives are 3.5-inch FC-AL drives that conform to the Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) standards and support dual-port FC-AL interconnects
through the two RAID controllers and their cabling.
CAUTION: Once the PFR600 Series RAID is installed and configured, the disk
modules become slot dependent. Moving disk modules between physical slots will
result in loss of data and the need to reconfigure the system.
