6.6.7 Replacing a defective hard disk drive in the RAID system
Hard disks can be replaced during operation in the removable tray in connection with a
configured RAID1 system or RAID5 system. This functionality is referred to as "Hot Swap".
Note
If you have configured a non
-
RAID system with several hard disk drives, you need to turn off
the device before you replace a hard disk drive.
If you replace a drive while it is active, the drive and data are corrupted. The device can no
longer be operated without problems.
Replace the drive in the removable tray only when the "HDD" status display of the device is
not lit.
Observe the EGB guidelines. Always replace the drive with a new drive of the same type and
capacity.
Mounting locations for hard disk drives in the RAID1 system
Hard disk drives for a RAID1 system are internally permanently built into the device (see
previous section) or in the removable tray (described in this section).
Note
Replacement of a hard disk drive in the removable tray and in the RAID system can be
performed without switching off the device. An internal hard disk drive may only be replaced
when the device is switched off.
disk drive can be integrated into the RAID1 system at operating system level
Synchronization may take several hours, depending on system load.
