2.

Figure 73 Removing a node hard drive
NOTE:
Because the system disks in the node use software RAID to mirror the two drives, the node cannot boot
up from drive 1; a bootable drive must be installed in drive bay 0. To replace drive 0: remove drive 0,
remove drive 1, install previous drive 1 into drive bay 0, then install the new, blank drive into drive bay 1.
To replace the component:
1.
Pull out the latch handle out as far as it can go and slide the drive into the bay until the latch
mechanism engages the chassis. Then, firmly push in the latch handle to lock the drive in the
drive bay.
2.
Power on the node. See
On reboot, the replacement drive is automatically configured to RAID 1 — no administrator action
is required.
