Before You Begin:

• Use only HP Hard Drives approved for your NetStorage 6000. For an up-to-date list of approved

hard disk drives, please visit our web site at http://www.hp.com/support/ns6000. Drives on the approved list have custom firmware for use in your NetStorage 6000. Do not attempt to install any hard disk drives other than the approved drives listed at this web site as doing so may result in system failure or loss of data. Using non-supported hard drives may also void your warranty.

• This replacement drive kit should not be used for expanding your system. For upgrades, use an

HP NetStorage 6000 Hard Drive Upgrade Kit.

• To insure proper cooling of the unit, leave the failed drive in the bay until you are ready to replace it.

• It is best to replace a hard drive when the NetStorage 6000 is operating.

Locate and Remove the Failed Drive

Parts Required:

The new drive may now be used to repair or supplement your system. A logical drive with a failed drive will need rebuilding if a hot spare was not available to automatically replace the failed drive.

A. Open a web browser and enter the unit's IP address in the browser's address

or location field.

B. Select Storage > Physical Drives > Actions > Rebuild Logical Drive. C. Select the Logical Drive to rebuild from the list of Logical Drives. Click OK.

NOTE: The new drive MUST be placed in the same slot location as the drive

that failed.

To assign the new drive as the hot spare:

A. Open a web browser and enter the unit's IP address in the browser's address

or location field.

B. Select Storage > Physical Drives > Actions > Assign Hot Spares. C. Click on the slot with the new drive. Click OK.

A. You should always have a spare hard drive on hand.
