Hot-Plug Sata And Sas Hard Drives - HP ML310 - ProLiant - G2 User Manual

Hot-Plug SATA and SAS Hard Drives

Hot-plug SATA and hot-plug SAS hard drives can be used interchangeably when
a SAS controller is installed. The SATA controller is embedded, but before
installing a hot-plug SAS hard drive, install the SAS controller ("SAS
Controller" on page 50).
To remove the component:
1. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs
2. Back up all server data on the hard drive.
3. Disconnect the cables from the hot-plug SATA or SAS drive cage.
4. Remove the hard drive.
To replace the component:
1. Remove the existing hard drive blank or hard drive from the drive bay.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage,
do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a
component or a blank.
