9.1. RP2 Service Access

WARNINGS ABOUT REMOVING PANEL:

If pulling the front panel while the unit is a chassis and running, do not leave the panel off for

•

an extended period of time. There is very little cooling once the fan is out of position and the

unit may overheat.

The sheet metal around the ribbon cable is sharp, be careful to not cut the cable or wedge it

•

between any of the edges.

Be careful when reassembling to not let the ribbon cable stick out into the guide track and locking hole

on the top of the chassis.

To access the fan and hard drives area for service:

1. Loosen the four spring-out retained screws until they "pop-out" with a #2 Phillips screwdriver.

2. Pull the panel off by grasping the handle and pulling gently. There is a ribbon cable attached to

the top of the panel so be careful to not pull the panel out more than 2" from the rest of the

chassis. If necessary, you can unplug the front panel from the cable, EVEN WHILE THE UNIT

IS POWERED ON AND RUNNING if necessary. Note the direction of the cable, it is keyed

and should only fit properly in one direction.

9.2. Changing failed drives.

If a drive is erroring on an RP2, before attempting to change the drive, try removing the RP2 from the

chassis, wait 30 seconds, and install it again. If the error goes away and the drive starts to rebuild,

things are probably fine as the drive itself just needed a power reset. However, if the error persists,

then replacement of the drive in error is probably necessary. The position of the red light indicating the

error, corresponds to the position of the physical drive.

To change the failed drive, first, follow the RP2 Service Access procedure above. Then:

1. To remove the defective drive from the RP2 chassis, hold the chassis firm (if not installed in a

RAIDFrame bay). Pull straight out on the front edges of the slide rails for the drive you wish to

change. The drive maybe firm at first but should slide out once you overcome the drive

connector's holding force.

2. Unscrew the drive mounting rails from the defective drive and install them in same direction

and orientation of the new drive.

3. Re-insert the new drive back into the RP2 chassis all the way.

4. Re-install the ribbon cable on the front panel if it was disconnected.

5. Re-install the front panel.

6. Once the RP2 is powered on (or if it was powered on during the whole process), it will begin to

rebuild automatically if there were no further problems. It will also set the audible alarm

indicating the rebuild. Press the mute button on the front to stop the tone.
