This section applies only to situations where the server module must be powered down to service a hard
drive. In many situations, the hard drive can be serviced while the server module powered on.

module's power indicator turns off before removing the hard drive. Otherwise, the hard drive may not be
recognized after the hard drive is reinstalled and the server module is powered on again.
