Overview
Observe all precautions when replacing modules.
Important: Always have available a replacement or blank module before removing the old
module. When you replace a module, you must never leave an empty bay in the rear of the
enclosure.
ESD Precautions
Important: Fit and check a suitable anti-static wrist or ankle strap and observe all
conventional ESD precautions when handling plug-in modules and components. Avoid contact with
midplane and sideplane components, and with module connectors.
Continuous operation during replacement
Your hardware or software enclosure management application determines the capability of replacing a failed disk without loss of access to any file system on the enclosure. Enclosure access and use during this period is uninterrupted. If an enclosure contains two PSUs, one of them can maintain power to the system while the other is replaced.
