Preparing to remove a disk drive or solid-state drive

Complete the following steps before removing a disk drive or solid-state drive from a system or from an
expansion unit:
1. Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see "Before you begin" on page 137.
2. If you cannot start the system or logical partition that controls the disk drive or solid-state drive
location, or if the system or logical partition is not powered on, go to step 6.
3. Identify the disk drive or solid-state drive to be removed and record the location information. For
information, see "Identifying a part" on page 139.
4. Prepare to remove the disk drive or solid-state drive from the system or an expansion unit as follows:
v If the system or logical partition that controls the disk drive or solid-state drive location is running
the AIX operating system, follow the steps in "Preparing to remove a disk drive or solid-state drive
from a system or an expansion unit controlled by AIX" on page 107.
v If the system or logical partition that controls the disk drive or solid-state drive location is running
the IBM i operating system, follow the steps in "Preparing to remove a disk drive or solid-state
drive from a system or logical partition controlled by IBM i" on page 113.
v If the system or logical partition that controls the disk drive or solid-state drive location is running
the Linux operating system and the disk drive or solid-state drive you want to replace is
unprotected or in use, move the data from the disk drive or solid-state drive before continuing with
this procedure. For information, see the PCI-X SCSI RAID Controller Reference Guide for Linux PDF or
SAS RAID controllers for Linux topic. The PCI-X SCSI RAID Controller Reference Guide for Linux PDF
is available from the SCSI PCI Adapters web page.
5. Stop the system or logical partition. For instructions, see "Stopping a system or logical partition" on
page 147.
6. If you stopped the logical partition, do not disconnect the power source.
7. If you stopped the system or logical partition, disconnect the power source from the system by
unplugging the system. For instructions, see "Disconnecting the power cords from the 8202-E4B,
8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D system" on page 163
Note: This system might be equipped with a second power supply. Disconnect it before continuing
with this procedure. Ensure that the power source to the system has been completely disconnected.
