Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives
Up to two SATA hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY RX100 S3

If your server is a non hot-plug variant, this chapter does not apply to you.
Upgrading or replacing non hot-plug components is described in the
“Options Guide” or in the Service Supplement and may only be
performed by autorized, qualified staff.
The hot-plug hard disk drives are built on a carrier which allows defective drives
to be replaced or new drives to be added during operation. The hard disk drive
and the carrier constitute the hard disk drive module (called “HDD module” in
the following sections).
This chapter describes how to handle hot-plug HDD modules (see

CAUTION!
Only a service technician may remove a hard disk drive from the HDD
module.

CAUTION!
The HDD modules must be marked clearly so that they can be put back

existing data can be destroyed.

CAUTION!
The hot-plug function can only be performed together with a corre-
sponding SATA RAID configuration.
Further information about SATA RAID configurations or RAID levels can
be found in the SATA RAID controller documentation (see
