Preparing To Remove A Disk Drive Or Solid-State Drive By Using The Diagnostic Command; Removing The Disk Drive Or Solid-State Drive From The 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, Or 8205-E6D System Or Expansion Unit - IBM 8202-E4B Manual

1. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see "Before you begin" on page 137.
2. Prepare to remove the disk drive or solid-state drive from the system or an expansion unit as
described in "Preparing to remove a disk drive or solid-state drive from a system or an expansion
unit controlled by AIX" on page 107.
Proceed to the procedure for removing a disk drive or solid-state drive by using the diagnostic command
Preparing to remove a disk drive or solid-state drive by using the diagnostic
command
Complete the following steps before removing a disk drive or solid-state drive from a system or from an
expansion unit:
1. If you are removing a solid-state device located on a PCIe RAID and SSD SAS adapter, go to
Removing and replacing the PCIe RAID and SSD SAS adapter, and complete that procedure.
2. Log in as root user.
3. At the command line, type diag and press Enter.
4. On the Diagnostic Operating Instructions display, press Enter to continue.
5. On the Function Selection display, select Task Selection.
6. Select RAID Array Manager.
7. Depending on the adapter that your drive is attached to, select IBM SAS Disk Array Manager, PCI
SCSI Disk Array Manager, or PCI-X SCSI Disk Array Manager.
8. Select Diagnostics and Recovery Options.
9. Select SCSI and SCSI RAID Hot Plug Manager.
10. To identify the location of the drive to be removed, select Identify a Device Attached to an SCSI
Hot Swap Enclosure Device.
11. Choose the slot corresponding to the disk and press Enter. The identify LED for that slot will flash
rapidly.
12. Verify that the identify LED for that slot is flashing rapidly, and record the location of the slot.
13. Press Enter to stop the LED from flashing and continue.
14. To prepare to remove the drive, press F3 to return to the SCSI and SCSI RAID Hot Plug Manager
display.
Choose from the following options:
v If you are removing a drive from a system or expansion unit, proceed to "Removing the disk drive or
solid-state drive from the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system or
expansion unit."
v If you are removing a drive from the 5888 PCIe storage enclosure, proceed to "Removing a solid-state
drive from the 5888 PCIe storage enclosure" on page 35.
v If you are removing a drive from the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure, proceed to "Removing a solid-state
drive from the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure" on page 36.
Removing the disk drive or solid-state drive from the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C,
8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system or expansion unit
Complete the following steps to remove a disk drive or solid-state drive from a system or from an
expansion unit:
1. Select Replace/Remove a Device Attached to an SCSI Hot Swap Enclosure Device.
2. Select the drive that you want to remove and press Enter. To view the locations of the service
indicators, see "Disk drive locations and service indicators for the 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D,
8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system" on page 97.
3. When the identify LED turns on solid, unlock the drive handle by squeezing it and pulling it out
toward you, as shown in Figure 20 on page 35. If the handle is not all the way out, the disk drive or
solid-state drive cannot slide out of the system or out of the expansion unit.
