Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive
There are 16 hot-pluggable disk drives located in the front of the server. You can replace the hot-pluggable
disk drives using the procedures in this section when server power is on or off.
CAUTION A hot-pluggable device may require interaction with the operating system before you can safely
remove it from or install it into the server. Verify that the operating system supports removing
and replacing disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating system does
not support this feature, shut down the operating system before removing or installing a
hot-swappable disk drive. Failure to observe this caution can result in system failure.
NOTE The replacement disk drive must have the same product number as the disk drive that you
replace.
