Removing A Front Hard Disk Drive Or Solid-State Drive - IBM IC922 Servicing

Removing a front hard disk drive or solid-state drive from the 9183-22X system
To remove a front hard disk drive or solid-state drive, complete the steps in this procedure.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service procedure is
completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
• Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack,
or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware.
• When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock
when using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging
and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of 5 seconds. If at any point in this service process you move away from the
system, it is important to again discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface for
at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service process.
2. Locate the faulty drive. The amber drive LED is turned on when a drive has an issue.
If a drive's amber LED is lit, go to step "3" on page 11.
If a drive has an issue and if the amber LED is not lit, run the following commands from an operating
system command window.
• To show a summary of the drive and controller status:
– SAS/SATA drives:
storcli show
– NVMe drives:
nvme list
And:
nvme smart-log <device>
• To show a list of all controllers and drives that need attention:
storcli show all
• To show information about the drives:
storcli /cx[/eall]/sall show
• To locate a physical disk by turning on the identify LED:
storcli /cx[/ex]/sx start locate
Or:
ledctl locate=/dev/rsnvmeX
• To turn off the identify LED:
storcli /cx[/ex]/sx stop locate
