ABSTRACT:
A data storage system having an interconnect, storage devices coupled to a first side of the interconnect, and a processing subsystem coupled to a second side of the interconnect that is substantially opposite the first side. The method involves a user (e.g., a customer) receiving a fault signal from the data storage system (e.g., an email notification, a GUI message, an LED pattern, etc.), identifying a component of the data storage system as faulty in response to receiving the fault signal, and replacing the identified component with a new component. In general, the user replaces the identified component in a hot-swapping manner when the identified component is a storage device or a power supply. Additionally, the user replaces the identified component in a powered-down manner when the identified component is a portion of a storage processing circuit (e.g., an internal fan, a memory circuit, a storage processing circuit, etc.).
