 DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS
   WHAT SKILLS DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED?:

   TIME ESTIMATE: 40 mins

   TASK COMPLEXITY: 0

FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
   PROBLEM OVERVIEW: Faulty Hard Disk Drive

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

The operating system should be configured by the customer such that the disk drive is free for replacement.
e.g. The disk may be part of Solaris Volume Manager, Veritas Volume Manager, mounted file-system, raw partitions, etc.
A data backup may be required to restore data onto a replaced disk. If a data backup is not required it is still a wise precaution.

The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

   WHAT ACTION DOES THE FIELD ENGINEER/ADMINISTRATOR NEED TO TAKE?:

Replacing a Hard Drive

The workstation supports up to four hard drives, either serial ATA (SATA), or serial attached SCSI (SAS). The hard drives slide into the hard drive bay and use standard Sun hard drive mounting brackets.

Note - Sun does not support mixed SAS and SATA hard drives. All four installed hard drives must be the same type.

Caution - The Sun SATA and SAS hard drive brackets are gray. To prevent damage to the connectors, do not insert any other color of hard drive into Sun Ultra 45 or Ultra 25 workstations.

The hard drives are labeled HDD0 through HDD3. The default boot drive is HDD0 (TABLE 4-1).

Removing a Hard Drive

1. Power off the system and attach an antistatic wrist strap. Open and position the chassis, and remove the access panel.

2. . Press the hard drive release button to release the hard drive handle.

3. Grasp the hard drive handle and pull the hard drive out of the hard drive bay.

4. Set the hard drive aside on an antistatic mat.

Installing a Hard Drive

Caution - Use proper ESD grounding technique when handling components. Wear an antistatic wrist strap and use an antistatic mat. Store ESD-sensitive components in antistatic bags before placing them on any surface.

1. Power off the system and attach an antistatic wrist strap. Open and position the chassis, and remove the access panel.

Note - The default boot device is installed in HDD0 (drive 0). Be sure to install the boot disk in HDD0, unless you have changed the boot device parameters.

2. Remove the new hard drive from its packaging.

Caution - The Sun SATA and SAS hard drive brackets are color-coded gray. To prevent damage to the connectors, do not insert any other color of hard drive into Sun Ultra 45 or Ultra 25 workstations.

3. Install the hard drive 

4. Slide the hard drive into the hard drive bay.

5. Close the latch on the hard drive until it clicks and is secure.
