Observe the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD modules (see "Hard disk drive indicators" on page 72). ● Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the system is in operation if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is operating in RAID level 1, 5 or 6.
CSS components Ê Install the new HDD module, as described in "Installing the HDD module" on page 101. V CAUTION! If you have removed a HDD module and do not install a new one in its place, put the dummy module back in its place for cooling, to comply with EMC regulations (regulations regarding electromagnetic compatibility), and for protection against fire. Ensure that the dummy module engages correctly in the bay. 8.
CSS components 8.2.1 Opening the server and identifying the defective CSS component 8.2.1.1 Opening the server V CAUTION!
