Removing a Disk
This section describes how to remove a disk.
Impact on the System
During the replacement of a disk module, if the system reconstruction is complete, host services are not affected; if the system reconstruction is not complete, host services are slightly affected.
Prerequisite
- If the SVP has running services, make sure that the data on the disk to be removed has been backed up and the RAID configuration has been deleted from the disk.
- You have located the position of the disk to be replaced in the SVP.
- You have obtained the rack number and chassis number of the SVP.
- You have located the SVP based on the preceding information, and labeled its panel to prevent misoperations.
Tools and Materials
- ESD gloves or ESD wrist strap
- Packaging materials, for example, an ESD bag
Procedure
- Push the spring that fastens the disk ejector lever. See step (1) in Figure 5-77.
The ejector lever automatically ejects.
- Hold the ejector lever, and pull out the disk for about 3 cm (1.18 in.). See step (2) in Figure 5-77. Wait for at least 30 seconds until the disk stops spinning. Then remove the disk from the SVP. See step (3) in Figure 5-77.
- Place the removed disk in an ESD bag.
