Attention:
Failure to replace the hard disk drives in their correct bays might result
in loss of data. If you are replacing a hard disk drive that is part of a RAID level 1
or RAID level 5 logical drive, ensure that you install the replacement hard disk drive
in the correct bay. Check the hardware and software documentation provided with
your system to see if there are restrictions regarding hard disk drive configurations.
Some system Fibre Channel configurations might not allow mixing different drive
capacities or types within an array.
Complete the following steps to replace a hot-swap hard disk drive:
1. Determine the location of the drive that you want to remove.
Attention:
Never hot-swap a drive CRU when its green Activity LED is
flashing. Hot-swap a drive CRU only when its amber Fault LED is lit and not
flashing or when the green Activity LED is lit and flashing at one-second
intervals.
2. Remove the drive CRU:
a. Press on the inside of the bottom of the tray handle to release the blue latch
as shown in Figure 37 on page 41.
b. Pull the tray handle out into the open position.
c. Lift the drive CRU partially out of the bay.
d. To avoid possible damage to the drive, wait at least 20 seconds before fully
removing the drive CRU from the expansion unit to allow the drive to stop
(spin down).
e. Verify that there is proper identification (such as a label) on the drive CRU,
and then slide it completely out of the expansion unit.
3. Install the new drive CRU:
a. Gently push the drive CRU into the empty bay until the tray handle touches
the expansion-unit bezel.
b. Push the tray handle down into the closed (latched) position, as shown in
Figure 39.
4. Check the drive LEDs:
v
When a drive is ready for use, the green Activity LED is lit and the amber
Fault LED is off.
