Upgrading Your System 4-49
Swapping a Hard Disk Drive
When you are swapping out a faulty hard drive, you can determine which drive
to remove by checking its SCSI drive activity/fault LED. See “Status LED
Indicator Descriptions” in Chapter 2.
Note:
When the SCSI drive activity/fault LED indicates
a drive fault (steady amber light), you can remove the drive
and swap in a replacement at any time without needing to
power down the system and provided RAID is configured in
the system. Drive manufacturer's caution against moving a
drive that is still spinning because of possible damage to the
drive. Also, when the SCSI drive activity/fault LED indicates
that the hard disk drive is being rebuilt (flashing amber light)
do not remove the drive.
