Removing a hot-plug SAS or SATA hard drive
CAUTION:
For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles,
expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components, minimize
the amount of time the access panel is open.
1.
Determine the status of the drive from the hot-plug SAS hard drive LED combinations ("
Drive LED
definitions
" on page
19
).
2.
Back up all server data on the drive.
3.
Remove the drive.
Controller options
The server ships with an embedded Smart Array P420i controller. For more information about the controller
and its features, see the
HP Smart Array Controllers for HP ProLiant Servers User Guide
on the HP website
(
http://www.hp.com/support/SAC_UG_ProLiantServers_en
). To configure arrays, see the
Configuring
Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide
on the HP website
(
http://www.hp.com/support/CASAC_RG_en
).
Upgrade options exist for the integrated array controller. For a list of supported options, see the QuickSpecs
on the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/support
).
The server supports FBWC. FBWC consists of a cache module and a capacitor pack. The DDR cache module
buffers and stores data being written by the controller. When the system is powered on, the capacitor pack
charges fully in about 5 minutes. In the event of a system power failure, a fully charged capacitor pack
provides power for up to 80 seconds. During that interval, the controller transfers the cached data from DDR
memory to flash memory, where the data remains indefinitely or until a controller retrieves the data.
CAUTION:
The cache module connector does not use the industry-standard DDR3 mini-DIMM
pinout. Do not use the controller with cache modules designed for other controller models,
because the controller can malfunction and you can lose data. Also, do not transfer this cache
module to an unsupported controller model, because you can lose data.
CAUTION:
To prevent a server malfunction or damage to the equipment, do not add or remove
the battery pack while an array capacity expansion, RAID level migration, or stripe size migration
is in progress.
