Chapter 2 Identifying Hardware Components

Removal of a populated drive/tray assembly can have unforeseen effects
including the loss of all data in a volume. A drive can be part of a volume
that may or may not be redundant. Before removing a drive from an
operating xStack Storage Array, make sure it is the correct one.
