73 5 Hot-plug components This chapter describes how to replace or add hot-plug hard disk drives in the PRIMERGY SX940 S1 storage blade. Up to four 2.5-inch SAS or SATA hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY SX940 S1 storage blade. Mix of hard disk drives For a configuration with two controllers, it is not possible to mix SAS and SATA hard disk drives. Example: Controller 1: two SAS hard disk drives at the bottom Controller 2: two SATA hard disk drives at the top or vice versa Fitting rules The HDD/SSD modules are fitted according to the storage blade configuration. Figure 46: Order in which HDD/SSD modules are fitted SX940 S1 Operating manual 73

74 Hot-plug components If the storage blade is configured with just one controller, either the left or the right server blade is operated. 1-2 or 1-4 HDD/SSD modules can be fitted. The HDD/SSD modules are fitted as follows: Left server blade 1-4 HDD/SSDs Right server blade 1-2 HDD/SSDs Right server blade 1-4 HDD/SSDs Top left Top right Bottom left Top left Table 2: Configuration with one controller Top right Top left Top right Bottom left Bottom right Bottom right If the storage blade is configured with two controllers, both the left and the right server blade are operated. 2-4 HDD/SSD modules can be fitted. The HDD/SSD modules are fitted as follows: Left server blade Bottom left Bottom right Right server blade Top left Top right Table 3: Configuration with two controllers 5.1 Hot-plug HDD/SSD modules The HDD/SSD drives which can be ordered for the SX940 S1 storage blade are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during operation. The HDD/SSD drive and installation frame together make up the HDD/SSD module. V CAUTION! The HDD/SSD drive must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone except a service technician. The HDD/SSD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not done, existing data can be lost. 74 Operating manual SX940 S1

75 Hot-plug components The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corresponding RAID configuration. Further information about RAID configurations or RAID levels is available in the RAID controller documentation.

76 Hot-plug components Handling hard disk drives and HDD/SSD modules Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD/SSD modules are highly sensitive electromagnetic devices and must be handled with great care. Incorrect handling can cause partial or total failure of the hard disk drives. These failures can result in data errors and to a loss of data or to total corruption of the hard disk drive. Observe the following rules to prevent such problems occurring: Only store and transport HDD/SSD modules within the limits stipulated in the specification. When transporting HDD/SSD modules (even over short distances), always use the original packaging (ESD label). Never expose HDD/SSD modules to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drive. V CAUTION! The HDD/SSD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for an acclimatization time before it is started up for the first time. Temperature difference ( C) (operating environment/ outside) Minimum acclimatization time (hours) Table 4: Acclimatization times for HDD/SSD modules Always set the HDD/SSD module down carefully, with the large surface facing downwards to prevent it from tipping over. 76 Operating manual SX940 S1

77 Hot-plug components 5.2 Removing/installing the dummy module Free slots are provided with dummy modules. Remove the dummy module before installing an additional HDD/SSD module Figure 48: Removing the dummy module Press both tabs on the dummy module together until the locking mechanism disengages (1). Pull the dummy module out of the slot (2). To install a dummy module, follow the same procedure in reverse order. V CAUTION! Store the dummy module in a safe place. If you have removed an HDD/SSD module and do not install a new one in its place, put the dummy module back in its place for cooling, to comply with EMC regulations (regulations regarding electromagnetic compatibility), and for protection against fire. Ensure that the dummy module engages correctly in the slot. SX940 S1 Operating manual 77

Removing the HDD/SSD module V CAUTION! Only remove a HDD/SSD module during operation if the drive is not currently being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD/SSD modules (see "Control and display elements" on page 39). Under no circumstances should you remove an HDD/SSD module while the system is in operation if you are not sure whether the hard disk drive is operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array. An HDD/SSD module can only be replaced during operation in conjunction with a corresponding RAID configuration. SX940 S1 Operating manual 79
