To remove a hard disk drive, your workstation must be turned off. NOTE If you are removing a hard disk drive that has a mounted ﬁle system on it, you will need to unmount it.
Page 124 Changing Your Workstation’s Hardware Conﬁguration Hard Disk Drives 2. Loosen the T-15 Torx thumbscrew securing the disk drive tray to the system board. As you grasp the bracket and slide to the front of the workstation, the bracket will unseat from the chassis rail. See Figure 4-43.
Page 125 3. Remove the four T-15 Torx shoulder screws from the hard disk drive and bracket. See Figure 4-44. You should be careful when removing the hard disk drive from its mounting bracket to avoid damaging it. Note that in order to remove the T-15 Torx screws from the sides of the hard disk drive you will have to have a T-15 Torx driver that is long enough to ﬁt through the access holes on the sides of the hard disk drive bracket.
Page 126 Changing Your Workstation’s Hardware Conﬁguration Hard Disk Drives 4. Replace the four mounting screws on the hard disk drive bracket to store them for future use.

Page 156: Booting Your System
The Boot Console Interface Booting Your System Booting Your System You usually start your system by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically. However, you may not always want the usual boot sequence to occur. For example, you may want to start your system from an operating system that is stored on a device that is different from your usual boot device.
