The server contains hardware that lets you replace a failed
hard disk drive without turning off the server. Therefore,
you have the advantage of continuing to operate the
system while a hard disk drive is removed or installed.
These drives are known as
hot-swappable drives. They
are also referred to as hot-swap drives.
Each hot-swap drive bay has two indicator lights on the
front of the server (see “Information LED panel” on
page 189). If the amber Hard Disk Status light for a drive
is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and needs
to be replaced. When the Hard Disk Status light indicates
a drive fault, you can replace a hot-swap drive without
turning off the server.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a
hot-swap-drive tray attached. The drive must have a
single connector attachment (SCA) connector.
Hot-swap-drive trays come with the hot-swap drives.

The server comes with a preinstalled 3.5-inch,
1.44 MB diskette drive and a preinstalled IDE
CD-ROM drive.
