Standard 1.0 Option 11 EC Installation and Maintenance Guide November 1999
Removing and
replacing the
secondary disk
To replace the secondary disk in a shadowed system, follow
these steps.
Step Action
1 Disable disk shadowing.
2 Courtesy down the system.
3 Power down the EC 11.
4 Open the locklatches on the drive plate of the
secondary disk to be replaced, and gently pull the
drive plate forward until it clears the MSU mounting
plate.
5 Ensure that the replacement disk drive has the same
part number, including the suffix, as the original disk.
6 Ensure that the SCSI ID of the replacement
shadowed secondary disk is set to 2. To do this,
remove any jumpers on the header on the first and
third pin positions. Insert a jumper on the header in
the second pin position. See Chapter 6, “Installing
the disk drives and the tape drive” for the location of
the jumper.
7 Ensure that parity is enabled. See Chapter 6,
“Installing the disk drives and the tape drive” for
jumper settings.
8 Ensure that the terminators are disabled by
removing the Terminating Enable (TE) jumper.
9 Install the disk cover plates by sliding them in
between the disks and the disk drive plates so that
the front of each disk is covered.
10 Install the disk drive plate to the MSU mounting plate
by opening the locklatches, aligning the drive plate
to the MSU plate, sliding the drive plate into the
MSU plate, and closing the locklatches.
11 Turn on the power and restart the system.
12 Synchronize the disks.
Result: The system will copy data from the primary
disk to the secondary disk. Refer to the “Enabling/
disabling disk shadowing” topic on page 16-13.
13 Enable disk shadowing.
