8.1 Replacing a drive in a 60-bay unit
The Recovery Guru in SANtricity System Manager monitors the drives in the unit and can notify
you of an impending drive failure or an actual drive failure. When a drive has failed, its amber
Attention LED is on. You can hot-swap a failed drive while the unit is receiving I/O operations.
Before you begin
– You have a replacement drive that is supported by Bosch for the controller unit or
expansion unit.
– You have an ESD wristband, or you have taken other antistatic precautions.
About this procedure
Use this procedure to replace a drive in the following controller units or expansion units:
Type Number of drives Type of drives
60-bay controller unit 60 3.5-inch SAS drives in carriers or 2.5-inch SAS
drives in carriers
60-bay expansion unit 60
The 60-bay controller unit and the 60-bay expansion unit consist of 5drive drawers that each
contain 12drive slots. Drive drawer1 is at the top, and drive drawer5 is at the bottom. The
drives are numbered from 0 to 11 in each drive drawer.
Rules for handling drives
The drives are fragile. Improper drive handling is a leading cause of drive failure. Follow these
rules to avoid damaging the drives in your unit:
– Prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)
– Keep the drive in the ESD bag until you are ready to install it.
– Do not insert a metal tool or knife into the ESD bag. Open the ESD bag by hand or
cut the top off with a pair of scissors.
– Keep the ESD bag and any packing materials in case you must return a drive later.
