Replacing the Hard Disk
If a hard disk is faulty (for example, a hard disk failure log is generated on the USG), you can
replace the hard disk unit. The hard disk unit can be replaced no matter when the USG is
powered on or off. If the USG is powered off, skip
command. The following procedure guides you through hard disk unit replacement while the
USG is powered on:
Issue 03 (2015-01-26)
Phillips screwdriver
ESD bag
Use EdgeWave hard disks. Otherwise, the system may not identify them.
Before replacing the hard disk unit, run the disk offline command in the system view. Wait
about 30 seconds until the system indicates that the hard disk stops working and then
remove the hard disk. If you remove and insert a hard disk without running the disk
offline command first, the hard disk may be damaged, data in the hard disk may be lost, or
the system may stop responding to services.
Powering off the USG interrupts services. Install or replace the hard disks during off-peak
hours.
Wear the ESD wrist strap while working on the USG to avoid possible damages to the
USG and hard disks.
While holding a hard disk, do not touch the PCB board or squeeze the disk. Carry only one
hard disk at a time. Do not vibrate, crash, or pile multiple hard disks up.
Put the hard disks inside ESD bags when they are not used.
