CAUTION:
To properly ventilate the system, you must provide at least 7.6 centimeters (3.0 inches) of clearance at the
front and back of the device.
CAUTION:
When replacing hot-pluggable components in an operational MSA, allow approximately 30 seconds
between removing the failed component and installing the replacement. This time is needed to ensure
that configuration data about the removed component is cleared from the system registry. To minimize
airflow loss, do not pause for more than a few minutes. To prevent overheating due to an empty
chassis bay, use a blanking panel or leave the slightly dis-engaged component in the chassis until the
replacement can be made.
CAUTION:
Schedule phys
ical configuration changes during periods of low or no activity. If the system is performing
rebuilds, RA
ID migrations, array expansions LUN expansions, or experiencing heavy I/O, avoid physical
configuratio
n changes such as adding or replacing hard drives or hot-plugging a controller or any other
component. F
or example, hot-adding or replacing a controller while under heavy I/O may cause a
momentary p
ause, performance decrease, or lass of access to the MSA while the new controller is
starting up. When the controller completes the startup process, full functionality is restored.
CAUTION:
Before replacing a hot-pluggable component, ensure that steps have been taken to prevent loss of data.
Determinin
g whether a component is hot-pluggable
Before rem
oving any serviceable part, determine whether the part is hot-pluggable or non-hot-pluggable.
• If the component is hot-pluggable, a power shutdown of the device is not required for replacement
of the part.
• If the component is not hot-pluggable, the device must be powered down.
