v If you installed the part for any other reason, verify the installed part. For instructions, see
"Verifying the installed part" on page 165.
3. To rebuild data on the newly installed or replaced disk drive or solid-state drive, see "Rebuilding data
on a replacement disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or logical partition running Linux" on
page 111.
Installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C,
8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D with the IBM i system or
logical partition power turned on
Learn how to install a disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or expansion unit with the IBM i
operating system or logical partition that controls the drive location is powered on.
If you are servicing a failing part, see the service procedures for "Replacing a disk drive or solid-state
drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D with the IBM i system or
logical partition power turned on" on page 73.
Before installing or replacing a feature, ensure that the software required to support the feature is
installed on the system. For information about software prerequisites, see IBM Prerequisite website
(www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf). If the required software is not installed, go to Fix Central
(www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral) to download it, and install it before continuing.
If you are installing solid-state drives, review the configuration rules and then return here. For more
information, see "Solid-state drive configuration rules for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B,
8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D" on page 1.
Note: Some of the figures in these procedures might not look exactly like the system or expansion unit
that you have. However, the steps to complete the task are the same.
