Replacing a disk drive

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not extend the disk drive drawer for more than 10
minutes. Do not operate the D6020 unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. Remove a
drive only if another drive is ready to be installed or the D6020 is powered down.
Prerequisites
Verify the status of the drive to be replaced by reviewing the disk drive LEDs (see Disk drive LEDs) and disk drive
•
LED combinations (see Disk drive LED combinations).
• Confirm the RAID status and configuration to be sure that data loss does not occur if the drive is removed. For more
information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on the HPESC website.
• Be sure that the replacement disk drive is the same interface and the same or larger capacity.
Procedure
1. Extend the disk drive drawer.
CAUTION: To avoid data loss, be sure that the drives are labeled and returned to the same bays from which
they were removed.
2. As appropriate, remove the drive blank or disk drive.
