Subsystem Maintenance and Upgrading
5.1 Overview
5.1.1
Maintenance
Constant monitoring and maintenance of your SS16i subsystem will minimize subsystem
downtime and preserve the working integrity of the system for a longer period of time. If any of
the subsystem components fail, they must be replaced as soon as possible.
WARNING!
Do not remove a failed component from the subsystem until you have a replacement
on hand. If you remove a failed component without replacing it, the internal airflow
will be disrupted and the system will overheat causing damage to the subsystem.
All of the following components can be replaced in case of failure:
1. Controller module – Section 0
5. Cooling fan modules (bundled with PSU modules, not separately available) – Section 0
5.1.2 General Notes on Component Replacement
With the exception of the RAID controller module, all of the components on the
SS16i subsystem, including the PSU modules (along with the cooling modules
within), and drive trays, are hot-swappable and can be replaced while the subsystem
is still in operation.
Qualified engineers who are familiar with the SS16i subsystem should be the only
ones who make component replacements. If you are not familiar with the subsystem
and/or with RAID subsystem maintenance in general, it is strongly advised that you
refer subsystem maintenance to a suitably qualified maintenance engineer.
Normalized airflow is directly dependent on the presence of all subsystem
components. Even if a subsystem component fails, it should not be removed from the
subsystem until a replacement is readily at hand and can be quickly installed.
Removing a subsystem component without replacing it can lead to permanent
subsystem damage.
