Hot-swappable drive trays: The drive trays are all hot-
swappable. A disk drive failure can be corrected online.
Handles: If the failed hard drive is behind either the left- or right-

opened, the drive tray must be removed from the subsystem.
Failure to remove the drive tray from the subsystem after the
front flap has been opened may cause data errors.
Slowly remove a faulty drive: When removing a drive tray from
the subsystem, pull the drive tray out only about one inch and
then wait for at least 30 seconds for the hard drive motor to spin

drive while the drive motor is spinning can damage the hard
drive.
There are situations that healthy drives can be removed. In
