MediaVault 4440 User Manual Maintenance
vPOD Hot-Swap Procedure
NOTE: Although a vPOD attempts to notify the host computer that it
is no longer present in the MV 4440, it is the responsibility of the host
computer software to be aware of this status change. Do not remove
a vPOD while critical data is being written from the host computer to
the MV 4440.
1. On the back of the vPOD to be removed, change the MODE SELECT
switch setting to “14”. (This option must be used to safely remove the
device and preserve data). See Figure 8-1.
2. Press and hold-in the MODE SET button. Listen for a sequence of beeps.
After the third sequence (that is, three equal-length tones) remove the
vPOD from the MV 4440 chassis by removing all connected cables and
unscrewing the two thumbscrews. See Figure 8-1.
