How to Remove a Disk Drive

The system's disk "hot-plug" feature lets you remove a disk drive without shutting
down the operating system or turning off the system power. For more
information, see:
4 "About Internal Disk Drives" on page 83
Before You Begin
You must follow antistatic precautions when handling a disk drive. For more
information, see:
4 "How to Avoid Electrostatic Discharge" on page 64
What to Do
1. Prepare the system for disk removal.
The hot-plug removal procedure involves software commands for preparing the
system prior to removing the disk drive. See "About Internal Disk Drives" on
page 83.
Note -
If the server is set up without a local graphics console, terminal, or
monitor, you need to set up one of these options in order to issue software
commands. See "How to Attach an Alphanumeric Terminal" on page 50, or
"How to Configure a Local Graphics Console" on page 51.
2. If you are not hot-plugging the disk drive, halt the operating system and turn
off the system power.
See "How to Power Off the System" on page 55.
3. Unlock the disk access door and swing it open.
