Chapter 4. Removing a disk storage module
You can remove a disk storage module while the BladeCenter S system is powered
on. To remove it, open the release handles on the disk storage module, and slide
the module out of the BladeCenter S chassis.
Note: Make sure that all hard disk drive activity is stopped (the green LEDs on
any of the hard disk drives installed in the disk storage module are not blinking).
Important:
If you are removing disk storage modules or hard disk drives from a
BladeCenter S chassis in which SAS RAID controller modules are installed, refer to
the
IBM BladeCenter SAS RAID Controller Installation and User's Guide for additional
steps that might need to be performed.

a. Open the release handle on the hard disk drive (rotate the handle up) to

Open the release handles on the disk storage module (rotate the top handle up
and the bottom handle down) to disengage the disk storage module from the
