Dealing

with

hardware

faults

Ensure

that

you

have

obtained

a

replacement

module

of

the

same

type

before

removing

any

faulty

module.

v

If

the

subsystem

power

is

turned

on

and

you

remove

any

module,

replace

it

immediately.

If

the

subsystem

is

used

with

modules

or

module

blanks

missing

for

more

than

a

few

minutes,

the

enclosure

can

overheat,

causing

power

failure

and

data

loss.

Such

use

will

invalidate

the

warranty.

v

Replace

a

faulty

drive

with

a

drive

of

the

same

type

and

equal

or

greater

capacity.

v

Refer

to

your

vendor-supplied

documentation

when

using

storage

software

for

handling

drive-related

hardware

faults.

v

All

drive

bays

must

be

installed

with

a

drive

carrier

module

in

order

to

maintain

a

balanced

airflow.

v

All

the

supplied

plug-in

power

supply

units,

electronics

modules

and

blank

modules

must

be

in

place

for

the

air

to

flow

correctly

around

the

cabinet.

CAUTION:

Observe

all

conventional

ESD

precautions

when

handling

modules

and

components.

Avoid

contact

with

backplane

components

and

module

connectors,

etc.

Note:

The

top

cover

of

the

enclosure

covers

a

service

area

which

should

be

accessed

only

by

qualified

service

personnel.

When

the

cover

is

replaced

it

must

be

secured

by

turning

the

lock

mechanism

to

the

locked

position.

Continuous

operation

during

replacement

Depending

on

how

the

enclosure

system

is

set

up,

if

a

disk

unit

fails,

it

can

normally

be

replaced

without

interrupting

the

use

of

the

system.
