Removing and Replacing an Internal Hard Disk Drive

The HP 9000 rp3410 or rp3440 server can support up to three hot-pluggable, Low-Voltage
Differential (LVD) hard disk drives. These hard disk drives are 3.5-inch form factor devices that
connect to Ultra 160 Wide LVD SCSI interfaces on the disk cage backplane.
There is a significant difference between the terms hot-swappable and hot-pluggable:
• Hot-swapping happens at the device level; that is, a hot-swappable device manages insertion
or removal on its own without assistance from operating system commands.
• The hot-plug process enables you to replace a defective disk drive in a high-availability
server while it is running.
CAUTION:
are hot-pluggable. To safely remove or insert disk drives while the server is running, you must
perform a manual software procedure. To avoid damage to the hard drives:
• See the documentation provided with the drive for additional details on inserting or removing
a disk drive.
• See your OS documentation for instructions on preparing the OS for inserting or removing
a hard drive.
