Hot Swapping a Hard Drive
The HP Server supports a variety of single-ended SCSI SCA-type hard disk drives. The area of the chassis
below the system’s controls and indicators on the front panel houses up to two 3.5-inch bays. Each bay can
contain a single industry-standard SCSI-2 or SCSI-3, one-inch high hard disk drive from the factory. The
procedures in this section describe how to determine drive status, remove a faulty drive, and install a new
drive.
Determining Drive Status
Status LEDs arranged in sets of three over each of the two Hard Disk Bays monitor the status of each drive.

Removing a Hard Disk Drive
To remove a hard disk drive from the disk bay, complete the following procedure:
1. Look at the amber LEDs above the hard disk bays to determine which drive is bad. See Table
4-1 for information on how to interpret the LEDs.
2. Remove the plastic bezel on the front of the server.
3. Depress the drive carrier latch of the bad drive, and use the handle to pull the assembly toward
you to disengage the drive from the backplane connector.
