• If you remove and then reinstall an electronic component, temporarily place the component on
an ESD pad or blanket.
Removing and replacing a storage drive in the 9006-12P
Learn how to remove and replace a storage drive in the IBM Power System LC921 (9006-12P) system.
About this task
The storage drive might be a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD).
Removing a front disk drive from the 9006-12P system
Learn how to remove a front disk drive from the IBM Power System LC921 (9006-12P) system.
Before you begin
You can remove and replace SATA, SAS, and NVMe front drives with the system powered on and running.
Procedure
1. Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap.
The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an unpainted metal surface until the service procedure is
completed, and if applicable, until the service access cover is replaced.
Attention:
• Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack,
or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from
damaging your hardware.
• When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock
when using or working on electrical equipment.
• If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging
and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a
minimum of 5 seconds. If at any point in this service process you move away from the
system, it is important to again discharge yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface for
at least 5 seconds before you continue with the service process.
2. Locate the drive. Ensure that the media device is unmounted from the Linux system and if needed,
remove the media from the device.
• Based on how the drive is connected, use the following table to identify the drive, and to enable the
drive to be safely removed from the system.
• After identifying the drive, write down the serial number of the drive.
