Replacing a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive
If a hard disk drive in the storage expansion unit fails, you can replace it without
turning off the blade server.
Complete the following steps to replace a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive in a
storage expansion unit hot-swap bay.
Note: The illustrations used in this procedure depict the installation process on a
BladeCenter HS40 blade server in a BladeCenter Type 8677 unit. These
illustrations might differ slightly from your hardware. However, this installation
process is the same regardless of the BladeCenter unit.

Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the BladeCenter
unit for more than 1 minute without either a hot-swap hard disk drive or a filler
panel installed in each storage expansion unit bay.
1. Review the safety information beginning on page 109 and “Installation
guidelines” on page 33.
2. Locate the defective hard disk drive (look for an amber status LED on the front
of the hard disk drive).
3. Make sure that the hard disk drive has stopped spinning.
4. Move the handle on the hard disk drive to the open position (perpendicular to
the hard disk drive), and pull the hot-swap hard disk drive assembly from the
bay.
5. Within 1 minute, install the replacement hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay (see
“Installing a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive” on page 57 for instructions).
