- Use Huawei hard disks. The system cannot recognize the hard disks provided by other vendors.
- Wear an ESD wrist strap to protect the USG and hard disks from electrostatic damage.
- Hold the two side surfaces of a hard disk, do not touch the PCB board or squeeze the hard disk, and do not vibrate, bump, or stack hard disks.
- For mapping relationships between the USG and hard disks, see Hardware Overview.
Tool
ESD bag
Installing The Hard Disk (USG6515E, USG6525E, USG6550E, USG6555E, USG6560E, USG6565E, USG6580E, USG6585E)
- Remove the baffle plate from the hard disk slot.
- Hold the handlers of the hard disk and push the hard disk along the guide rails till the hard disk aligns with the panel of the USG.
- Press the hard disk handler inwardly to restore the module.Figure 1 Installing the hard disk (USG6515E, USG6525E, USG6550E, USG6555E, USG6560E, USG6565E, USG6580E, USG6585E)
- After the installation is complete, perform the following operations:
Operations after the USG power-on must be performed after all installation tasks are complete.
- Before the USG is powered on, ensure that the hard disk is correctly installed.
- After the USG is powered on, run the display disk information command in the user view to check whether the Filesystem Status value is Mounted.

- Remove the filler panel from a hard disk slot.Figure 2 Removing the filler panel from a hard disk slot (USG6575E-B, USG6605E-B, USG6610E, USG6615E, USG6620E, USG6625E, USG6630E, USG6635E, USG6650E, USG6655E)
- Pull the ejector lever on the hard disk holder, keep it in pulled-out state, and push the hard disk holder with two hands along the guide rails of the slot till the front surface of the hard disk holder touches the USG panel.Figure 3 Installing a hard disk (USG6575E-B, USG6605E-B, USG6610E, USG6615E, USG6620E, USG6625E, USG6630E, USG6635E, USG6650E, USG6655E)
- After the ejector lever of the hard disk is fastened to the chassis, close the hard disk ejector lever.
- After the installation is complete, perform the following operations:
Operations after the USG power-on must be performed after all installation tasks are complete.
- Before the USG is powered on, ensure that the hard disk is correctly installed.
