Chapter 2. Replace 43xx disk units
To replace a 43xx disk unit, perform these tasks:
__ 1. Perform prerequisite tasks as described in “Before you begin” on page 1.
__ 2. “Open or remove the front cover” on page 29.
Depending on your disk protection, our system or expansion unit can either be
powered off (nonconcurrent) or powered on (concurrent) when you replace the
disk units. Select the procedure you want to use:
v “Replace 43xx RAID or Mirrored protected disk units with system powered on”
v “Replace 43xx RAID or Mirrored protected disk units with system powered off”
on page 8
Replace 43xx RAID or Mirrored protected disk units with system powered on
Be sure you understand the complexity of the powered on (concurrent) procedure
before you begin. If you do not feel comfortable using the concurrent procedure,
go to “Replace 43xx RAID or Mirrored protected disk units with system powered
off” on page 8.
To replace a disk unit with the system powered on, follow these steps:
__ 1. If possible, use a wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware. If you do not have a wrist strap, touch a metal
surface of the system or expansion unit before installing or replacing
hardware.
If you received the 2209 Disposable Wrist Strap, follow these steps:
__ a. Attach the disposable wrist strap. View video.
__ b. When you unroll the strap, remove the liner from the copper foil at
the end.
__ c. Attach the adhesive part of the copper foil to an exposed, unpainted
metal surface on the frame of the unit.
Follow the same precautions you would use without the wrist strap.
Note:
The 2209 Disposable Wrist Strap is for static control. It will not
increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using
or working on electrical equipment.
__ 2. Find the “Disk unit locations” on page 33 for your system unit or your
expansion unit.
__ 3. Remove the disk unit cover. Squeeze the latch and pull out.

Chapter 3. Install 43xx disk units
To install a 43xx disk unit; follow these steps:
Note: The figures in these instructions may not look exactly like the server that
you have. However, the steps to perform the task are the same.
__ 1. Perform prerequisite tasks as described in “Before you begin” on page 1.
__ 2. “Open or remove the front cover” on page 29.
Your system or expansion unit can either be powered off (nonconcurrent) or
powered on (concurrent) when you install the disk units.
Select the preferred procedure from the following:
v “Install 43xx disk units with system power on” on page 15
v “Install 43xx disk units with system power off” on page 20
Install 43xx disk units with system power on
Be sure you understand the complexity of the powered on (concurrent) procedure
before you begin. If you do not feel comfortable using the concurrent procedure,
go to “Install 43xx disk units with system power off” on page 20.
To perform the concurrent installation, follow these steps:
__ 1. If possible, use a wrist strap to prevent electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware. If you do not have a wrist strap, touch a metal
surface of the system or expansion unit before installing or replacing
hardware.
If you received the 2209 Disposable Wrist Strap, follow these steps:
__ a. Attach the disposable wrist strap. View video.
__ b. When you unroll the strap, remove the liner from the copper foil at
the end.
__ c. Attach the adhesive part of the copper foil to an exposed, unpainted
metal surface on the frame of the unit.
Follow the same precautions you would use without the wrist strap.
Note:
The 2209 Disposable Wrist Strap is for static control. It will not
increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using
or working on electrical equipment.
__ 2. Find the “Disk unit locations” on page 33 in your system unit or your
expansion unit.
__ 3. Remove the disk unit covers. Squeeze the latch and pull out.
Note: iSeries 825 does not have disk unit covers.
__ 4. Look at the front of the system unit or the expansion unit and determine the
next available position. When you have a system unit with an expansion
unit, fill the slot positions in the system unit first. If using logical
partitions, go to Plan for logical partitions, in the Information Center, for
specific load source disk unit locations.
