Shutdown Procedure for Servicing a Hard Drive
NOTE:
This section applies only to situations where the blade must be powered
down to service a hard drive. In many situations, the hard drive can be serviced
while the blade is powered on.
If you need to power off the blade to service a hard drive, wait 30 seconds
after the blade’s power indicator turns off before removing the hard drive.
Otherwise, the hard drive may not be recognized after the hard drive is
reinstalled and the blade is powered on again.
Configuring the Boot Drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot
order specified in the System Setup program (see "Using the System Setup
Program" on page 79.
