Identify Failed Drive• Locate the failed drive

Replace a Drive1. Remove the Bad Drive:

Press the drive release button.

2. Fully open the drive release latch.

3. Remove the drive by the grabbing the drive sides.

4. Install the new drive: lift the drive release latch to its fully open position

5. Hold the drive by its carrier and insert the drive into an empty slot

6. When the drive is fully inserted as far as it can go, rotate the drive release latch to its fully closed position.

7. Push down on the latch until you hear and feel a click

Replace a Control Module1. Remove the Control Module:

Press the control module release button.

2. Fully open the control module release latch.

3. Remove the control module by the grabbing the sides.

4. Install the Control Module: Lift the control module release latch to its fully open position

5. Hold the control module by its carrier and insert it into the slot

6. When the control module is fully inserted as far as it can go push down on the latch until it clicks

MicroSD Card Replacement Procedure

1. Remove the control module from the array.

2. Remove the SD card from the control module. – Push the microSD card in its slot to release

the spring mechanism. The microSD card will be partially ejected from the housing.

– Gently pull the card straight out of the slot

3. Install the replacement SD card in the control module.– Align the microSD card so the arrow on the

card points towards the microSD card slot in the control module

– When correctly positioned, the notch on the card will correspond to the slot.

– Firmly press the card into the slot until it clicks into place

4. Insert the control module into the array.

Self-Encrypting Disks(SED)

Self Encrypting Disks

• To identify a self encrypting disk a lock symbol will be on the label.

• SED drive model mixing is not supported.

SED Label

Non-SED Label

SED Disks

• To determine if all disks installed are SED– Login to the group

– Select the member

– Issue a “show” command

Self-Encrypting Disks (SEDs) States

• Unsecure – Encryption is not active on this disk. When shipped from the factory, drives are unsecured.

• Secure/Online – Encryption is active. Disk has been unlocked. When more than half the drives are present, they are secure and online.

• Secure/Offline – Encryption is active. Disk is locked. When powered off, failed, or stolen, drives are encrypted and locked so that data is not accessible.

Self-Encrypting Disks (SED)

• Encryption keys used to secure data on the disk

• Military-grade in real time

• Dell Equallogic uses AutoSED– Works at the array level

› Administrator should ensure all members in group are deployed with SED

– SEDs operate in an automatic fashion

– If a drive is removed from a SED array its data is immediately locked
