Tip
You do not have to shut down or power off the server to replace hard drives or SSDs because they are
hot pluggable.
Note
You can mix hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs) in the same server. However, You cannot configure
a logical volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. That is, when you create a
logical volume, it must contain all hard drives or all SSDs.
Note
If you need to make changes to your RAID configuration after installing a drive, use the LSI
configuration utility for your mass storage device. See the
“RAID Controller Considerations” section on
page C-1
for more information.
Note
Cisco recommends following the industry-standard practice of using drives of the same capacity when
configuring RAID volumes. If you use drives of different capacities, the usable portion of the smallest
drive will be used on all drives of the RAID volume.
Note
The 500 GB SATA drives (A03-D500GC3) and the 1 TB SATA drives (A03-D1TBSATA) that are sold
with the UCS C250 M2 server are supported at 3G speeds. These are 6G drives and might possibly run
faster than 3G in this server, but they are supported to run at minimum 3G speeds.
To replace or install a hot-pluggable hard drive or SSD, follow these steps:
Step 1
Remove the drive that you are replacing or remove a blank panel from an empty bay (see
Figure 3-6
):
a.
Press the release button to expose the ejector lever.
b.
Pull the ejector lever toward you, and then pull the drive sled from the drive bay.
c.
If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the drive from the sled by removing the four screws
from the sides of the sled.
Step 2
Install a new drive:
a.
Place the drive in the sled with the connectors facing the rear.
b.
Install the four securing screws on the sides of the sled.
c.
With the ejector lever still open, push the sled into the drive bay until you feel the drive stop against
the backplane.
d.
Press the ejector lever flat until the lock clicks into place.
