PS6610 Hardware Owner's Manual
• Protect drives from electrostatic discharge. Wear an electrostatic wrist strap when handling a
drive. See
Hardware Protection on page
• Store drives properly. Store replacement drives in the packaging in which they were shipped. Do
not stack drives or place anything on top of a drive.
• Handle drives carefully. Hold a drive only by the plastic part of the carrier or the handle. Do not
drop, jolt, or force a drive into a slot.
• Warm replacement drives to room temperature before installation. (Consider letting a new
replacement drive sit overnight before installing it in an array.)
• Do not remove a drive from its carrier. This action will void your warranty and support contract.
• Keep the shipping material. Return a failed drive to your array support provider in the packaging
in which the replacement drive was shipped. Shipping drives in unauthorized packaging might void
your warranty.
Drive Maintenance Requirements
Disk drives must be installed properly and in a specific configuration to allow for the necessary
airflow and cooling throughout the chassis. Failure to do so will trigger a warning condition.
• Failed drives should be replaced as soon as possible. However, if a drive fails and a replacement
is not readily available, leave the failed drive in the slot until it can be replaced.
• When installing drives in the array, apply firm downward pressure with both hands and slide the
drive toward the rear of the drawer until it snaps into place and the locking latch is fully engaged.
See
Install Disk Drives on page
• When correctly installed in the drawer, all top-facing drive surfaces should form a flat and level
surface. If a drive is protruding upward in any way, reinstall the drive.
• After installation, verify that the drive power LED is green or flashing green.
