HOT-PLUGGABLE
WIDE ULTRA2/ULTRA3
HARD DRIVE
Important Guidelines for Replacing Hot-Pluggable
Hard Drives
Follow these guidelines when replacing drives configured for fault tolerance on
a Compaq Smart or Smart2-Array Controller:
n
Never remove more than one drive at a time.
When a drive is replaced, the controller uses data from the other drives in the
array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive. If more than one drive is
removed, a complete data set is not available to reconstruct data on the
replacement drives and permanent data loss can occur.
n
Never remove a drive while another drive is being rebuilt.
A drive’s Online LED Indicators will be flashing green while it is being
rebuilt. A replaced drive is rebuilt from data stored on the other drives. See
Figure 1.
n
Never turn a disk enclosure off while the initiator or controller is
powered on or active.
Doing so can cause the initiator or controller to mark the drives as “failed.”
This can result in permanent data loss.
n
If a drive is replaced while the system is Off, it may be necessary to
rebuild the replaced drive.
Follow the instructions on the screen or the instructions outlined in the
system's reference guide.

Before You Begin:
Software Requirement for Intel Servers: Support Software CD
Software Requirement for Alpha Servers: None
1. Verify correct drive carrier support-Verify that the server or disk
enclosure supports Wide Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI drive carriers. Refer to
the documentation included with the system.
2. Review Important Guidelines-When replacing a failed drive, refer to
the documentation included with the server or disk enclosure system to
identify and remove a failed drive. See "Important Guidelines for
Replacing Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives" included on this poster.
3. Remove failed drive-Follow the steps shown on this card.
4. Install Hot-Pluggable hard drive-Follow the steps shown on this card.
5. Hard Drive Handling Precautions-Hard drives are sensitive electro-
mechanical devices that can be permanently damaged through improper
handling. The packaging provided with a hard drive is designed to
protect it from accidental drops. Compaq recommends that hard drives
remain in their original packaging until installation. Drives should be
handled with care and never dropped, even from short distances.
6. Configuration-If this is an upgrade or new installation on a ProLiant-
based system, run the Compaq System Configuration Utility found on
the Software Support CD.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure you are
properly grounded before beginning this procedure. Refer to the documentation that
came with your computer or contact your Compaq authorized reseller for procedures to
discharge static electricity.

Remove the failed drive or blank drive bezel from the disk enclosure before
installing a new hard drive.
1a: Removing a blank drive bezel.
1
Press the ejector buttons simultaneously.
2
Pull the blank drive bezel from the disk enclosure system.
4
When the drive has been fully inserted, close the ejector lever.
The locking hinge must be engaged behind the front panel of the unit.
Important option
To install a 1-inch hard drive into a 1.6-inch drive bay, attach a drive
height converter to the drive assembly. The drive height converter
option is sold seperately. Contact a Compaq authorized reseller for
purchasing information.
Installation Instructions
Snap the drive height converter accessory into place as shown in the
figure below. Proceed with normal installation procedures.
1b: Removing a hard drive.
1
Press the ejector button and pivot the lever to full open position.
2
Pull the drive from disk enclosure.
See "Important Guidelines for Replacing Hot-Pluggable Hard Drives" for
more information.
To confirm a correct attachment, the front view of the drive should be
level on both the right and left sides and the fit should be snug.
CAUTION: Do not carry the drive by the drive height converter. If the attachment is not
secure, the drive may fall resulting in damage to the drive. This will void any drive
warranty.
