3. To configure the newly installed disk drive or solid-state drive, see "Configuring a disk drive or
solid-state drive in an IBM i system or logical partition" on page 115.
4. To rebuild the data on the replacement disk drive or solid-state drive, see "Rebuilding data on a
replacement disk drive or solid-state drive by using IBM i" on page 118.
Replacing a disk drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B,
8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D by using the hot-spare function in an IBM i
system or logical partition
You can use the hot-spare function to replace a disk drive in a system or expansion unit while the IBM i
operating system or logical partition that controls the disk drive location is powered on.
To complete this procedure, you must have already completed the removal procedure. For instructions,
see "Removing a disk drive by using the hot-spare function in an IBM i system or logical partition from
8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D" on page 52. If you are replacing a disk
drive as part of a service procedure, continue to use the following procedure.
Complete the following tasks to replace a drive:

Preparing to replace the disk drive by using the HSM

Complete the following tasks by using the Hardware Service Manager (HSM):
1. Continue with the replacing of the disk drive after you have removed the disk drive.
2. Return to the console and wait until the Concurrent Maintenance Results display is shown.
3. Press F12.
4. The physical locations you entered while removing the disk drive might still appear on the display. If
not, retype the physical location where you are installing the disk drive.
In the example, U787A.001.1234567-P3-D4, you would install a disk drive in the system unit with type
9406, Model 520, sequence number 1234567, and disk drive position P3–D4.
In the example, U5074.001.1234567-DB3-D32, you would install a disk drive in the expansion unit with
type 5074, model 001, sequence number 1234567, and disk drive position DB3–D32.
5. Select option 2 (Install device) for the Action to be completed.
6. Set the time delay, for example, for one minute: 01.
Note: You can set an appropriate time delay of 01 - 19 minutes to allow adequate time to access the
disk drive or solid-state drive.
7. Do not press Enter yet.
Choose from the following options:
v If you are replacing a drive in a system or expansion unit, proceed to "Replacing a disk drive or
solid-state drive in the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system or
expansion unit" on page 78.
v If you are replacing a drive in the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure, proceed to "Replacing a solid-state
drive in the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure" on page 79.
