Attention
1. Before you hot-swap a drive, refer to the amber
hard-disk status light for that drive to make sure
that it is defective. If the server has a
ServeRAID adapter installed and you assigned
RAID level 1 or 5 to the logical drives in the disk
array, make sure that the drive is defective. If
you partially or completely remove a good drive
instead of a defective one, the server might lose
valuable data. However, the ServeRAID adapter
can rebuild the data that you need, provided that
certain conditions are met. Refer to the
ServeRAID adapter documentation for further
details.
2. To avoid damage to a hard disk drive, do not
remove the drive from the hot-swap bay until it
has had time to spin down (approximately 30
seconds after disconnecting). Handle the drive
gently.
Before you begin:
Ÿ
Read “Safety information” on page 240.

Read the documentation that comes with the
drive.
