Removing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive

CAUTION:
To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports
hot-swap drive removal and installation. See the documentation provided
with your operating system for more information.
1 Remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 75.
2 From the RAID management software, prepare the drive for removal.
Wait until the hard-drive indicators on the drive carrier signal that
the drive can be removed safely. See your controller documentation for
information about hot-swap drive removal.
If the drive has been online, the green activity/fault indicator will flash as
the drive is powered down. When the drive indicators are off, the drive is
ready for removal. See "Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns" on page 18.
