To Remove and Replace a Disk Drive
If needed, to help locate the correct tray, activate the White locate LED:
Locate the failed disk drive by checking the fault lights on the front of the disk drive and the front of the tray chassis. If a fault is detected, the Service Action Required LED (Amber) will be on and the Service Action Allowed (Blue) LED should be on.
Disk drives are numbered from 1 to 16, starting with disk drive #1 on the left side of the CRM/CEM.
Verify that the disk drive is ready to remove.
a) The disk drive "State" should be "Enabled but Offline" and the "Status" should be "Error".
b) If the disk drive "Status" is not "Error" contact your Sun Service provider or next level of technical support.
Important: Potential loss of data access - Never remove a Disk Drive assembly unless the Blue Service Action Allowed LED is "On".
If the disk drive is ready for removal, lift the disk drive lever to release the latch handle.
Use the latch handle to slowly pull the disk drive out of the CRM/CEM.
Push down on the latch handle on the removed disk drive to protect it from damage.
Unpack the new drive and save all of the packing materials to return the failed disk drive in. Use care when handling either the new or the failed disk drive.
Place the removed disk drive in an antistatic bag.
Push the latch release to open the handle on the new disk drive to be installed.
Wait 30 seconds after the failed drive has been removed, then insert the new disk drive until it connects with the midplane connector.
Push down on the drive handle to firmly secure the drive. The handle will click into place when the drive is fully inserted.
After the disk drive is fully inserted the Green Drive Active LED will flash before staying on solid to indicate a ready state.
a) Depending on your configuration, the array may automatically reconstruct data to the new drive. If the array uses hot spares, it may have to complete reconstruction on the hot spare before it copies the data to the replaced drive. This may increase the time required to complete this procedure.
b) A flashing Active LED indicates that data is being restored to the new disk drive.
Verify the disk drive "State" and "Status".
a) The disk drive "State" should be "Enable" and the "Status" should be "OK".
b) If the disk drive "State" is not "Enable" and the "Status" is not "OK" contact your Sun Service provider or next level of technical support.
A new FRU inventory will need to be created for the new disk drive: Generate new FRU inventory.
Turn Off the White LED used to locate the CRM/CEM.
Disable the reserve CRM/CEM function.
a) Select the Release button.
