Replacing a Hard Drive

Do not remove a hard drive from the server unless the diagnostic software identifies a

permanent fault. In that event, the front panel DRIVES LED will blink. Use the hard disk
management tools to verify that a drive is at fault. The application monitors many things about the
array and individual drives, and will clearly indicate whether a drive has failed.
CAUTION: Do not install drives that were not received from 360 Systems.
CAUTION: All drives in the RAID array must be identical.

Each hard drive slot is numbered 0 through 11, as are the drives. If for any reason one or

more drives have been removed, they must be reinstalled in the same location, the drive number
matching the numbered location. Installation in the wrong location will destroy data stored on all
the drives.

1. Shutdown the server using the front panel button. After it has shut down, turn off the rear

AC power switch.

2. Remove the front panel as described above.
3. Unplug the 4-conductor power connector, and the wide data connector from the drive.
4. Pull the black knob to release the drive carrier. The knob will pop out slightly; it is not

removable.

5. To install a new drive, slide its mounting plate into the correct position in the drive shelf,

and push the black knob in until it clicks. The drive is now secured. Reattach the power
and data cables.

6. Replace the front panel and tighten the two thumb screws until they are just snug.
7. Turn on the rear panel AC switch.
8. Turn the system ON using the front panel button, and check the RAID array status.
9. Verify correct operation of the server.
