Unlocking The Hard Drives; Releasing The Hard Drive Release Clip; Removing A Hard Drive - HP Integrity rx2600 Operation And Maintenance Manual

■
The hot-plug process enables you to replace a defective disk drive in a high-availability
server while it is running.
CAUTION: The disk drives in the zx6000 and rx2600 are not hot-swappable; they are merely
hot-pluggable. A manual software procedure must be done in order to safely remove or insert
disk drives while the server is running. 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.

Removing a Hard Drive

To remove a hard drive, follow these steps
1. If the server is powered on and the OS is running, prepare the OS to have the disk drive
removed. See your OS documentation for instructions on preparing the OS for removing and
inserting hard drives.
2. If you have locked your hard drives, you must unlock them before removing or replacing a
drive:
a. Remove the covers.
b. Press down on the Unlock lever to unlock the drive.
CAUTION: If you try to remove a hard disk drive without unlocking it from the server, you will damage the
hard drive bay.
