6 Removing and Replacing Components

This chapter provides information on removing and replacing components in the server blade.

Service Tools Required

Service of this product may require the following tools:

•

The CPU Install Tool Kit, consisting of:

Disposable ESD Kit

•
•

Labelless CPU install tool (2.5mm hex and Torx 15)

•

1/4-inch flat blade screwdriver

•

Torx T-15 Torx screwdriver

None of the internal components are hot-swappable because they are not accessible unless the
server blade is removed from the server blade enclosure.

Removing and Replacing a Hot-Plug SAS Disk Drive

The only hot-plug devices in the server blade are the SAS disk drives.

To assess hard drive status, observe the SAS disk drive status LEDs. For an explanation of these
LEDs, see

“SAS Disk Drive LEDs” (page 93)

IMPORTANT:

Before removing a SAS disk drive, perform a complete data backup.

If disk drive mirroring is enabled, it is not necessary to power down the server blade before
removing or replacing a SAS disk drive. If mirroring is not enabled, perform a graceful OS shutdown
before removing a disk drive to protect data.

You are not required to remove the server blade from the enclosure to remove and replace a SAS
disk drive.

Removing a SAS Disk Drive

To remove a SAS disk drive:
1.

Press the Release button (1). See

Figure 35

Open the ejector lever (2).

Slide the SAS disk drive out of the drive cage (3).
