Hot-Swap Disk Drives
The following procedures describe the removal, replacement, and installation of hot-swap disk drives.
Before performing the following procedures, read the “Safety Notices” on page vii.
Note: You do not have to power off the system to remove a hot-swap disk drive. Before you perform
these procedures, ensure that you have taken the appropriate actions to back up the data for the
drive you are removing, and that the drive has been removed from the configuration. Physically
removing a hot-swap disk drive from the system before it has been removed from the system
configuration can cause unrecoverable data corruption.
Attention:
The Linux operating system does not support these hot-swappable procedures. Also, Linux
does not support hot-swapping any hot-swappable disk drives. A system with Linux installed must be shut
down and powered off before installing any disk drives. Use the procedures described in “Removing a
Hot-Swap Disk Drive with the System Power Off” on page 58 and “Replacing or Installing a Hot-Swap Disk
Drive with the System Power Off” on page 58 when replacing a disk drive with the Linux operating system
installed.
