4.6 Dealing with Hardware Faults
Ensure that you have obtained a replacement module of the same type before removing any faulty
module.
Warning If your FC60SS enclosure is powered up and you remove any module, replace it
immediately. If the enclosure is used with plug-in modules, dummy carriers or blank modules
missing for more than a few minutes, the Enclosure can overheat, causing power failure and data
loss. Such use will invalidate the warranty.
• Replace a faulty drive with a drive of the same type and equal or greater capacity.
• All drive bays must be fitted with a Drive Carrier or Dummy Carrier module in order to maintain a
balanced air flow.
• All of the supplied plug-in power supply units, electronics modules, dummy carriers and blank
modules must be in place for the air to flow correctly around the cabinet.
4.7 Continuous Operation During
Replacement
Depending on how the FC60SS enclosure is configured, if a disk unit fails, it can normally be
replaced without interrupting the use of the system.
In addition, each enclosure contains two Power Supply modules, either of which can maintain power and
cooling to the subsystem while the other is replaced.
Note: The PSU replacement time must be as short as possible as the FC60SS
enclosure is designed to operate with two PSUs installed.
Important The fans within the Cooling module are not user replaceable, in the event of a cooling fan failure
the complete Cooling module must be replaced.
4.7.1 Ops Panel
Important The Ops Panel is an integral part of the enclosure assembly and can only be replaced with a
replacement enclosure. The enclosure should only be replaced by trained personnel.
4.8 Replacing a Module
Warning Whenever replacing a module NEVER leave an EMPTY space in the rear of the enclosure, obtain
a replacement before removing the problem part.
Please refer to Chapter 2 , ”Getting Started” for information on the initial installation of the plug-in modules
in the FC60SS enclosure.
Warning Observe all conventional ESD precautions when handling FC60SS modules and
components. Avoid contact with Backplane components and module connectors, etc.
