If you are replacing a drive in the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure, proceed to “Replacing a solid-state
drive in the EDR1 PCIe storage enclosure” on page 65.
Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D,
or 9109-RMD system or expansion unit
Complete the following steps to replace a disk drive or solid-state drive in a system or in an expansion
unit:
1. If the drive you are installing does not have a bezel preinstalled, then complete the tasks to install a
bezel on the drive, then continue with this procedure from step 3. For instructions to install a bezel,
see “Installing a disk drive bezel in a disk drive or filler” on page 80.
2.
If the drive you are installing has a bezel preinstalled, then go to step 3.
3. Unlock the drive handle by squeezing it and pulling it out toward you. If the handle is not all the
way out, the disk drive or solid-state drive does not slide into the system or an expansion unit.
4.
Hold the disk drive or solid-state drive by the top and bottom edges as you position the drive, and
insert it into the system or the expansion unit. Do not hold the disk drive or solid-state drive by the
handle.
5. Slide the drive halfway into the system or an expansion unit.
6. In the Hardware Service Manager (HSM) display, select the drive that you want to replace.
7. Press Enter on the console.
Important: When you press Enter, after your selected time delay, the service indicator light comes on
(solid) for 18 seconds. You then have 18 seconds to slide the drive all the way in and then lock it in
place by pushing in the drive handle. You can set an appropriate time delay of 01 - 19 minutes to
allow adequate time to access the disk drive or solid-state drive.
8. When the identify LED turns on solid, slide the disk drive or solid-state drive all the way into the
system or an expansion unit, and push the drive handle
(A) in until it locks, as shown in Figure 40 on
page 65.
