Removing and Replacing an Internal Hard Disk Drive

This section provides information about removing and replacing internal hard disk drives.

CAUTION: A hot-swap device may require interaction with the operating system before the device can be safely installed into the server. Verify that the operating system supports installing 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 will result in system failure.
