Cisco Cisco Email Security Appliance X1070 Installation Guide

Make sure that you replace the Cisco 170 series HDDs with Cisco supplied HDDs that are specific to 
and preconfigured for the Cisco 170 series appliance. Please contact Cisco Technical Support for more 
information or in case of an Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). See the 

.

You may need to install, remove, or replace a HDD in your Cisco 170 series appliance under the 
following conditions:

If a single drive fails, you can replace the failed drive. You can hot-swap the failed drive.

If both drives fail simultaneously, you need to return the entire system via an RMA.

When you replace a drive, the disk indicator light is a blinking amber indicating a rebuild event. Once 
the rebuild is completed, the disk indicator light changes to a flashing green. 

The Cisco 170 series appliance has two HDDs in a RAID 1 configuration. If one of the HDDs fails, you 
can remove and install a new HDD. 

Make sure that you replace the failed hard disk drive as soon as possible; otherwise, if the remaining 
hard disk drive fails, all your data is lost. 

To remove and install (replace) hard disk drives in the Cisco 170 series appliance, follow these steps:

From the front panel of the Cisco 170 series appliance, remove the hard disk drive by pressing the button 
on the right side of the bay until the lever is released. Pull out the hard disk drive.
