4. If there is stilla problem after all the FRUs have been replaced, one of the hot-swap hard disk drives may be defective.
a. Unseat all of the hot-swap hard disk drives except the one in hot-swap bay 0. b. Disconnect the internal SCSI cable, if installed, from the
manual-plug devices.
c. Send the command from the system to spin-up the drives.
Refer to the system publications for more information.
5. If the command is successful, reseat the next hot-swap hard disk drive and send the command from the system to spin-up the drive.
