Hot-Pluggable Drives - Compaq 219700-001 - ProLiant - 1500 Reference Manual

Hot-Pluggable Drives

The SMART-2DH Controller, used with a Compaq ProLiant Storage System,
a Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Storage System, a Compaq ProLiant
Server or Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Server, supports hot-pluggable
drives. You can install or remove these drives without turning off the system
power. This feature is a function of the Compaq ProLiant Storage System and
the Compaq ProLiant Server and operates independently of the operating
system.
If a drive fails, the Service Required LED on the front panel of the Compaq
ProLiant lights, indicating that a problem has occurred. Refer to the Compaq
ProLiant and Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers Reference Guide for more
information on replacing drives. Also see Figure D-12 for conditions to safely
replace a drive using the three indicators on each of the hot-pluggable drive
trays.

Do not turn off the Compaq ProLiant Storage
CAUTION:
System or the Compaq server when removing or installing the
hot-pluggable replacement drives. If you turn off the ProLiant
Storage System while the server power is on, the SMART-2DH
Controller marks all the drives as "failed." This could result in
permanent data loss when the Storage System is turned back on.
