1. RAID array Cisco recommends using a new drive of identical size model and manufacturer to replace the failed drive This recommendation comes from the industry standard practice of using drives of the same capacity when creating RAID volumes If drives of different capacities are used the useable portion of the smallest drive will be used on all drives that make up the RAID volume If you ever need to move a RAID cluster from one server to another both the old and new servers for the cluster must use the same LSI controller For example migration from a server with an LSI 1064E controller to a server with an LSI MegaRAID controller is not supported Similarly migrating a RAID cluster from a B200 M3 to a B420 M3 is not supported For hard disk and RAID troubleshooting information see the Cisco UCS Manager B Series Troubleshooting Guide Removing a Blade Server Hard Drive To remove a hard drive from a blade server follow these steps Procedure Step 1 Push the button to release the ejector and then pull the hard drive from its slot Figure 3 Removing the Hard Drive 331382 Step 2 Place the hard drive on an antistatic mat or antistatic foam if you are not immediately reinstalling it in another server Step 3 Install a hard disk drive blank faceplate N20 BBLKD to keep dust out of the blade server if the slot will remain empty Installing a Blade Server Hard Drive Procedure Step 1 Place the hard drive lever into the2. open position by pushing the release button Figure 4 Installing a Hard Drive in a Blade Server 331396 Step 2 Gently slide the hard drive into the opening in the blade server until it seats into place Step3 Push the hard drive lever into the closed position You can use Cisco UCS Manager to format and configure RAID services For details see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using The configuration guides are available at the following URL http www cisco com en US products ps1028 1 products_ installation _and_configuration_guides_list html If you need to move a RAID cluster see the Cisco UCS Manager B Series Troubleshooting Guide Blade Server Removal and Installation Before performing any internal operations on this blade server you must remove it from the chassis A Caution To prevent ESD damage wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures and handle modules by the carrier edges only Powering Off Blade Servers Using the Power Button p Tip You can also shut the server down remotely using Cisco UCS Manager For details see the Configuration Guide for the version of Cisco UCS Manager that you are using The configuration guides are available at the following URL http www cisco com en US products ps10281 products_installation_and_ configuration_guides_list html Procedure Step 1 For each server in the chassis that you want to power off check the colo
