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

is

powered

up

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
