WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
1. Observe the LEDs on the front panel of the HDD to verify which HDD in the server is defective.
Note: Amber light: Disk requires service. Blue light: Disk ready for removal
2. To remove the faulty HDD from the server, perform the following steps:
Note - The Sun Blade X6270 Server Module HDDs are hot-swappable.
a. Press the release lever button on the HDD (or SDD) front panel then tilt the lever up into a fully opened position.
b. Hold the opened release lever and gently slide the HDD (or SDD) toward you.
c. If you are not immediately replacing the HDD (or SDD), insert a filler panel into the empty HDD slot on the server,.
3. To install (or reinstall) the HDD (or SDD), perform the following steps:
a. Ensure that the HDD (or SSD) release lever is in a fully opened position.
b. Slide the HDD (or SSD) into the vacant slot by pressing the middle of the HDD faceplate with your thumb or finger.
Note - The release lever will rise as it makes contact with the chassis. Do not slide the storage device in all the way. Leave the storage device out approximately 0.25 to 0.50 inch from the opening.
c. Using your thumb or finger, press on the middle of the HDD (or SSD) faceplate until the release lever engages with the chassis.
d. Close the release lever until it clicks into place and is flush with the front of the server.
Note - If the storage devices were previously configured as a mirrored RAID 1 array, an automatic resynchronization is invoked and the contents are automatically rebuilt from the rest of the array with no need to reconfigure the RAID parameters. If the replaced storage device was configured as a hot-spare, the new HDD is automatically configured as a new hot-spare.
