Remove a drive

You remove a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) that has failed, or is failing, to replace it
with a new drive. Replace a problem drive as soon as possible.
Before you begin
You have completed these tasks:
• Obtained a replacement drive of the same type, speed, and capacity of the drive you are removing.
• Read the guidelines for maintaining disk drives.
• Read the guidelines for protecting hardware from electrostatic discharge.
Procedure overview
• Do not leave a drive slot empty. Do not remove a failed drive unless you have a replacement drive or
blank carrier ready to install.
• If the system is in a Federation, using incompatible drives might cause your Federation to function
incorrectly. Also, performance might be degraded while a drive is defective or missing.
Procedure
1. Remove the bezel, if necessary.
2. Examine the drive LEDs to identify the failed drive.
3. Press the release button to release the drive handle.
