Replacing Hot-Pluggable Parts

Hard Disk Drives

The Sun StorEdge A1000 or D1000 system you ordered comes configured with either
1.6-inch drives or one-inch drives. The procedure for removing and replacing the
drives differs only in the software you use to control the disks. In all cases the hard
disks are hot-pluggable.
To Remove a Disk Drive
1. Be sure there is no activity to the drives and prepare the software environment.
See the documentation that came with your software.
Instructions for hot plugging or unplugging a disk in the Sun StorEdge A1000
system are in RAID Manager documentation.
Instructions for hot plugging or unplugging a disk in the Sun StorEdge D1000
system are in Sun StorEdge D1000 Storage Guide.
