FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

X6270 M2 Server Module drives are hot-swappable, which means that you can remove them while the server is running. However, you must prepare the operating system on the server prior to removing the drives.

Caution -- Possible data loss: If you insert a storage device that has been configured with a RAID volume into a server that did not previously have its storage devices configured with RAID volumes, the existing storage devices in the server will be converted to RAID volumes during automatic synchronization and any data on the existing storage devices in the server are erased.You should delete the active RAID volume from the storage device. For information on how to delete a RAID volume, use the appropriate RAID management utility for the RAID controller installed.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Replace an Existing Hard Disk Drive (HDD).

1. Observe the LEDs on the front panel of the drive to verify which drive in the server is faulty.

- Green (operational) / amber (faulty disk ) / blue (HDD has been prepared for removal)

2. To remove the faulty drive from the server,

a. Press the release lever button on the drive front panel then tilt the lever into a fully opened position.

b. Hold the opened release lever and gently slide the drive toward you.

c. If you are not immediately replacing the drive, insert a filler panel into the empty drive slot on the server.

3. To install (or replace) the drive,

a. Slide the drive into the vacant slot by pressing the middle of the drive faceplate with your thumb or finger.

c. Using your thumb or finger, press on the middle of the drive faceplate until the release lever engages with the chassis.

d. Close the release lever until it clicks into place and is flush with the front of the server.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:

For hot plug, configure the drive and verify drive availability.
Use appropriate software commands to re-activate/re-sync mirror if manual intervention is required
