Removing an Internal Hard Drive

storage.
Power down the server by pressing the power button on the back of the

server and wait until it completely shuts off.
Note: Removing non-mirrored hard disks can cause undesirable behaviors.
In a non-mirrored system, files may span multiple disks and removing one disk
makes the entire HP Media Vault non-operational (at least until the disk is
reconnected). If you remove a non-mirrored disk and change your mind,
replace the drive. Click Fix under the disks Actions to add the drive back to
the total storage space.
