Hot-swapping a SCSI Hard Disk Drive
A bank of six yellow LEDs on the front panel monitors the drive status of each drive in the
hot-docking bay. Each LED corresponds directly to a drive, so that the upper-most LED reflects
activity in the upper-most drive. The six LEDs and corresponding drives are numbered (top to
bottom) zero through five. When a yellow LED is on continuously, it is okay to hot-swap
(replace) a bad drive with a good one. You DO NOT need to shut the system down to hot-swap a
drive.
1. Open the front bezel by rotating its right side out and to the left.
2. If you installed a padlock on the metal door to the bays, unlock the padlock and remove it.
3. Loosen the plastic latch securing the metal door to the chassis, and open the door.
4. Check the bank of yellow LEDs on the front panel to determine which drive is bad.
5. Press the rounded tab on the right of the carrier to the left (toward the center of the drive—B in
Figure 19) while gently pulling straight down on the carrier handle (A in Figure 19). This
disengages the latch that secures the carrier to the chassis.
6. Grasp the plastic carrier handle and pull it toward you to disengage the drive connector from
the backplane connector.
