Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable SAS Hard Drive
You can install up to eight hot-pluggable SAS hard drives, located on the front panel of the server.
Replace the SAS hard drives using these procedures when server power is on or off.
The SAS hard drives are small form factor 2.5 in. disk drives. Supported capacities are as follows:
•
36 GB
•
73 GB
•
146 GB
CAUTION:
A hot-pluggable device might require that you interact with the operating system
before you can safely remove it from, or install it into, the server. Verify that the operating system
supports removing and replacing disk drives while the operating system is running. If the
operating system does not support this feature, shut down the operating system before attempting
this procedure. Failure to observe this caution can cause system failure.
NOTE:
The replacement SAS hard drive must have the same product number as the disk drive
that is replaced.
