Removing the HDD module
V
CAUTION!
Only remove a HDD module during operation if the drive is not 
currently being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the 
corresponding HDD modules (see 
).
Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the 
system is in operation if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is 
operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is 
operating in RAID level 1, 5 or 6.
A HDD module can only be replaced during operation in conjunction 
with a corresponding RAID configuration.
All HDD modules (drives) must be uniquely identified so that they can 
be reinstalled in their original mounting locations later. If this is not 
done, existing data can be lost.
If you want to remove a HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê
If you want to remove a HDD module that is not defective, the drive must be 
first set to "Offline" via the software (RAID controller configuration software).
Ê
Unlock the HDD module as described in section 
.
Ê
Pull the HDD module out a few centimeters.
Ê
Wait for at least 60 seconds. 
I
This period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that a 
HDD module has been removed and for the hard disk drive to come 
to a stop.
Ê
Pull the HDD module out completely.
