Removing and Replacing Hard Disk Drives

Use these procedures to remove and replace the hot-plug hard disk drives in your HP Integrity rx4640 server. The two hot-plug hard disk drives are located in the front of the server. Figure 4-35

CAUTION	A hot-plug device may require interaction with the operating system before the device can be
	safely removed from or installed into the server. Verify that the operating system supports
	removing/replacing disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating system
	does not support this feature, shut down the operating system before attempting this
	procedure. Failure to observe this caution results in server failure.
NOTE	The replacement disk drive must be the same product ID as the disk drive that is being
	replaced.
	HP often uses different manufacturers for disks that have the same product number. Since
	they have the same product number, the replacement disk drive has the same capacity and
	block size as the defective disk.

To remove a hot-plug disk drive, follow these steps:

Step	1.	Place your finger in the lever on the latch of the selected disk drive.
Step	2.	Push the tab to the right with your thumb to unlock the lever.
