SC460 Expansion Enclosure Owner's Manual

Install a Hard Drive

Use this procedure to install a hard drive in the expansion enclosure.

About this task

Do not drop the hard drive into the slot. Dropping the hard drive into the slot might damage the drive and the drive interface backplane, which requires a full chassis replacement to repair.
  • CAUTION: A drive must be replaced within 10 minutes of extending the expansion enclosure from the rack.

Steps

  1. Open the latch on the drive carrier.
  2. Align the drive with the guides and gently lower the disk into the slot. The latch begins to close when the drive carrier meets the backplane.
  3. Push down on the latch tab to engage the latch.

  4. When the latch is engaged, push on the drive carrier to verify that the drive is properly seated.
  5. Wait for the expansion enclosure to recognize the hard drive and determine its status.
  6. Push the expansion enclosure chassis back into the rack.
  7. In Storage Manager, make sure that the hard drive is recognized and shown as up and running.

Next steps

  1. Use SupportAssist to send diagnostic data to technical support.
  2. Change the operation mode of the Storage Center to Normal.
