Hot-plug SCSI hard drive

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

To remove the component:

1.Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs ("Hot-plug SCSI hard drive LEDs" on page 55, "SAS and SATA hard drive LEDs" on page 57).

2.Unlock and open the bezel ("Remove the bezel" on page 25).

3.Remove the hard drive.

To replace the component:

1.Slide the drive into the cage until it clicks, locking the drive into place.

2.Close the lever.

IMPORTANT: When the drive is inserted, the drive LEDs flash for 2 seconds to indicate that the drive is seated properly and receiving power.

3.As the drive begins to spin, be sure that the drive LEDs illuminate one at a time and then turn off together to indicate that the system has recognized the new drive.

In fault-tolerant configurations, allow the replacement drive to be reconstructed automatically with data from the other drives. While reconstruction is in progress, the online LED flashes.

Hot-plug SAS and SATA hard drives

Hot-plug SATA and hot-plug SAS hard drives can be used interchangeably when a SAS controller is installed. The embedded SATA controller supports only SATA drives.

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

To remove the component:

1.Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs ("SAS and SATA hard drive LEDs" on page 57).
