Hot-plug HDD/SSD modules
The hard disk drives or solid state disks which can be ordered for the 
PRIMERGY RX600 S6 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so 
that defective hard disk drives or solid state disks can be replaced and new  
hard disk drives or solid state disks can be added during operation. The hard 
disk drive or solid state disk and the installation frame together make up the 
HDD/SSD module.
V
CAUTION!
The hard disk drive or solid state disk 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.
The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a 
corresponding RAID configuration.
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can 
be found in the RAID controller documentation.
Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the 
metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards. 
Before removing the unit, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk 
stops spinning completely. 
When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise 
for a while, but this does not mean a failure. 
Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for 
the hard disk drives or solid state disks. If a power failure should occur 
while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost. 
When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out 
the data on the drive for your own security. 
Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To 
cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data. 
When  backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make 
backups on a file or partition basis. 
Be careful not to hit the hard disk unit or bring it into contact with 
metallic objects.
