Disk Handling Requirements
You must adhere to the following disk handling requirements:
•
Install only disks compatible with the control module. SAS disks require
the Type 4 control module. SATA disks require the Type 5 control module.
•
Store disks properly. Store replacement disks in the packaging in which they
were shipped. Do not stack disks or place anything on top of a disk.
•
Protect disks from electrostatic discharge. Wear an electrostatic wrist strap
when handling a disk, unless it is protected from electrostatic discharge.
•
Handle disks carefully. Hold a disk only by the plastic part of the carrier or
the handle. Do not drop or jolt a disk or force a disk into a disk slot.
•
Warm replacement disks to room temperature before installation. For
example, let a disk sit overnight before installing it in an array.
•
Do not leave disk slots empty. Each disk slot in an array must contain a disk
drive assembly or a blank carrier. Operating an array with an empty disk slot
will void your warranty and support contract.
•
Do not remove a disk from its carrier. This action will void your warranty
and support contract.
•
Keep shipping material. Return a failed disk to your array support provider
in the packaging in which the replacement disk was shipped. Shipping disks
in unauthorized packaging may void your warranty.
