Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives

IMPORTANT: Before removing or replacing a hot-plug SCSI hard drive, ensure that the affected drive is
not in use.
To remove a hot-plug SCSI hard drive:
1. Perform the preparation procedures. See "Preparation Procedures" earlier in this chapter.
2. Open the front bezel door. See "Front Bezel Door (Tower Model Only)" earlier in
this chapter.
3. Push the sliding release button – to unlock the hard drive ejector lever.
4. Swing out the ejector lever — , releasing the hard drive.
5. Pull the hard drive ˜ out from the drive cage.
IMPORTANT: Remove or replace only one hot-plug SCSI hard drive at a time. The controller relies on
other hard drives to reconstruct data on the replaced hard drive. Drive reconstruction is active when the
drive online LED is flashing green.
IMPORTANT: SCSI hard drive blanking panels must fill unused hard drive bays to maintain a proper
system cooling.
