You install a new drive to replace the failed one. Install
the replacement drive as soon as possible after removing the failed
drive. Otherwise, there is a risk that the equipment might overheat.
Before
you begin
- You have a replacement
drive that is supported by Lenovo for your controller shelf or drive
shelf.
- Open the cam
handle.
- Using two hands,
insert the replacement drive into the open bay, firmly pushing until
the drive stops.
- Slowly close
the cam handle until the drive is fully seated in the midplane and
the handle clicks into place.
The green LED on the drive comes on when the drive is inserted
correctly.
Note: Depending on your configuration,
the controller might automatically reconstruct data to the new drive.
If the shelf uses hot spare drives, the controller might need to perform
a complete reconstruction on the hot spare before it can copy the
data to the replaced drive. This reconstruction process increases
the time that is required to complete this procedure.
