Replacing failed hard drives

Follow the hard disk drive procedures in the order below to replace a failed hard disk drive. The hard disk drive should be replaced with a new device with the server powered on.

  1. Locate the failed hard disk. When a hard disk fails, the DISK ACCESS LED on the hard disk drive’s handle turns to an amber color.
  2. Remove the failed hard drive as described in the related procedure in this manual.
  3. Install the new hard drive as described in the related procedure in this manual.
  4. Check the following:
    • The hard disk to be installed for replacement must have the same specifications as its mirroring hard disk.
    • Use an unsigned hard disk drive for replacement. To use the signed disk, it is necessary to recover the duplex configuration by referring to Disk Operation in the configuration section of this manual after formatting the disk physically.
    • Before performing physical formatting, change Option ROM Scan Monitoring to Disabled on Server Monitoring Configuration in the BIOS setup utility.
  5. Restore the redundant configuration.
