Supermicro S-1600 R4 Use and care manual

Front View - RAID Disk Bays
Step 7: Press firmly on the both
the left and right edges of the drive
with both thumbs. Applying this
pressure will ensure that the drive is
fully engaged, even if no movement
of the drive is felt.
Step 8: After replacing the failed disk, the green and red LED of the new disk will start to
blink and the audible alarm will be silenced which indicates that the mirror is rebuilding.
If one were to reboot and enter the RAID firmware they would see the current percentage
of the rebuild.Once the rebuild has completed, the RAID will be marked as “Optimal” in the
firmware utility and the red led will be off. The front bezel can now be replaced.
The replacement of a single FAILED drive can be done while the application is still
running. It does not require the appliance to be turned OFF or the operating system
(OS) to be shutdown. These are hot swappable hard disk drives that can be removed
and re-installed while power is ON. The appliance will automatically detect the
removal of a FAILED or defective drive and the installation of its replacement.
This is an appliance with RAID storage. Single hard drive failures do not result in an
appliance failure. It will operate in the DEGRADED state until a replacement drive is
installed and a REBUILD of that drive’s data is complete. When the REBUILD is done,
the appliance returns to the OPTIMAL state.
Hardware Configuration
It is possible that one or two disks, depending on the RAID type, could be marked as
bad and the RAID marked as degraded, but this will not affect the appliance’s ability to
operate.

Replacement / Installation Instructions
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, READ THIS!
CAUTION
Removal of any other drives during this procedure or
during the REBUILD will result in system failure.
Step 5: While the system is running
you can insert the replacement
disk in the empty slot. Insert the
replacement drive into the disk bay
and slide the disk straight in until
it stops.
Step 6: Swing the handle in toward
the appliance. Continue pushing the
handle in until you feel it lock in
place.

Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any
printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.
CAUTION
nBe sure that the appliance is properly grounded to the chassis ground
through the AC power cord or enclosure frame.
nTouch a grounded metal object before removing drive from the
antistatic bag.
nHandle drive by its edges only; do not touch components on the bottom.
CAUTION
Removal of any other drive that does not have a red light during this
procedure, or during the REBUILD will result in system failure.
WARNING
Disk drives are static sensitive devices. Please make proper use of the wrist
strap included in the disk FRU kit.
Step 1: First remove the front bezel to expose
the disk drives. When looking at the front of
the appliance, a failed disk drive will have its
disk sled red LED illuminated. The LED is the
bottom of two possible LED’s. The appliance’s
audible alarm will be sounding.
Step 2: Press in on the colored
release button located beside the
drive’s LEDs on the failed drive to
unlock the handle.
Step 3: Swing the handle all the
way out to disengage the drive.
Step 4: Slide the drive half way out
of the drive bay and wait for it to spin
down.
Allow 10-20 seconds before
removing the drive from the drive
bay.

Check to make sure that the
HDD module is the same as
the one previously removed.
