Figure 23. Installing a Hard Disk Drive
Hot-swapping a SCSI SCA2 Hard Disk Drive
A bank of five yellow LEDs on the front panel monitors the drive status of each drive in the hot-
swap bay. When a yellow LED is on continuously, it is okay to hot-swap (replace) a bad drive
with a good one. You do not need to shut the system down to hot-swap a drive.
1.
Open the plastic front door of the system.
2.
Pull the top of the metal EMI cover away from the chassis.
3.
Check the bank of yellow LEDs on the front panel to determine which drive is bad. Grasp that
drive’s plastic drive carrier, squeeze the tab on the carrier, and carefully slide the bad drive out
of the bay. Place the drive on an antistatic surface.
4.
Position the new plastic carrier and drive assembly so that it engages the bay guide rails.
5.
Gently push the drive into the bay until it docks with the backplane connector and snaps into
place.
6.
Close the metal door.
7.
Close the plastic front door.
