Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D,
or 9109-RMD with the power to the Linux system or logical partition
turned on
Learn to replace a Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) or serial-attached SCSI (SAS) drive in a
system or an expansion unit while the power to the Linux system or logical partition that controls the
drive location is turned on.
In order to replace a drive, you must first ensure that the slot it will occupy does not contain another
drive or a disk drive filler. For the procedure to remove a drive, see "Removing a disk drive or solid-state
drive from the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD with the Linux system or logical partition power turned
on" on page 32. For the procedure to remove a disk-drive filler, see "Removing a disk drive filler from
the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD" on page 75.
Attention:
Review the following information to determine if your situation requires for a different
procedure to be performed instead of this one:
v In either of the following cases, go to "Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8248-L4T,
8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD with the system or logical partition power turned off" on page 70:
– You are installing a drive that is to be connected with the 6203 or 6204 SCSI adapter.
– You do not feel comfortable using the procedure with the power turned on.
v If you are installing a new or upgraded drive, see "Installing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the
8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD with the Linux system or logical partition power turned on" on
page 11.
If you are replacing a drive as part of a service procedure, continue to use the following procedure.
Note: Some of the figures in these procedures might not look exactly like the system or an expansion
unit that you have. However, the steps to complete the task are the same.
