Hard Disk Drives
This subsection describes how to remove and replace hard disk drives.
NOTE You do not need to remove the workstation's front bezel, top or side panels to
access the hard disk drive bays. The bays are fully accessible when the right
door of the front panel's bezel is open.
NOTE The ability to hot plug the hard disk drive(s) requires MirrorDisk/UX
(Product Number B5403BA on HP-UX 10.20, or B2491BA on HP-UX 11.0). If
MirrorDisk/UX is installed on the workstation, you do not need to power
down the workstation nor unplug the workstation's power cord while
removing or replacing hard disk drives. Also see the "Hot Plug Disk Removal
Procedure" label on the bottom lip of the front panel for basic instructions.
Removing a Hard Disk Drive:
1. Open the right door of the bezel on the workstation's front panel.
If you are hot-plugging a hard disk drive, the drive to be removed must be

inactive.
2. Push the blue tab on the front of the hard disk to the right, which unlatches the black
extractor lever.
3. Pull the black extractor lever outward to disconnect the hard disk from the SCA hard
disk interface (backplane board) on the back of the hard disk drive bay.
4. If you are hot-plugging the hard disk drive, wait 30 seconds for the drive to spin down.
5. Carefully slide the hard disk drive out of the chassis guide rails while grasping the body
with the other hand.
CAUTION Dropping the hard disk drive can cause severe damage to the drive hardware.
