Replace a front HDD/SSD

The Lenovo ThinkAgile HX Series appliance contains solid state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs).
User data is striped across these drives, referred to as "data drives." A node might be able to self-correct for a
data drive failure but leads to system degradation. Replace failed data drives as soon as possible. A failed data
drive is indicated by:
•
The Prism web console displays a disk alert
•
The amber LED on the front of a drive carrier is illuminated.
Replace an SSD or HDD in the front of the appliance:
1. To identify and prepare to replace a failed data drive, use the
Hardware Replacement
2. Replace the hot swap drive as described in the
Information Center.
3. Bring the data drive online by using the
Replacement Documentation.
4. To replace a failed metadata drive, use the
Hardware Replacement Documentation.
