Removing the Front Bezel to Access the
Disk Drives
Before you can add or remove disk drives, you must remove the bezel from the front
of the system. See "To Remove the Bezel" on page 11.

Adding a Disk Drive

This section contains information on how to add a disk drive while the power is on
and the operating system is running. This is called hot-swapping.
Caution – These procedures should be performed only by a qualified system
administrator. Performing hot-swap operations on an active disk drive can result in
data loss or corruption.
The way you add a disk drive depends on the software application you are using.
According to the procedures required by each application, decide where to install
the new disk drive, add the drive, and then reconfigure the operating environment.
The following tasks are always done:
1. Selecting a slot
2. Physically installing the disk drive
3. Configuring the Solaris operating environment to recognize the drive.
4. Configuring the application to accept the new disk drive.
Caution – Use the disposable antistatic wrist strap supplied with the system when
you carry out the following procedures.
