Replacing a drive in a hot-swap bay
You do not have to turn off the server to remove or install the hot-swap drives.
Attention:
1. Before you remove a hot-swap hard disk drive that is not defective, back up all
important data.
2. To avoid damage to a hard disk drive, do not remove the drive from the
hot-swap bay until it has had time to spin down (approximately 30 seconds).
Handle the drive carefully.
3. Before you replace a hot-swap drive, make sure it is defective. If you partially
or completely remove a good drive instead of a defective one, your server
might lose data.
This situation is especially relevant if your server has a RAID adapter installed
and you assigned RAID level 1 or 5 to the logical drives in your disk array. The
RAID adapter can rebuild the data that you need, provided that certain
conditions are met. Refer to the information provided with the RAID adapter
for further details.
Refer to the following illustration of the tower model while you perform the steps
in this procedure.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

If your server has a RAID adapter installed, review the information provided
with the RAID adapter for information about replacing a drive.
2. If your server is a tower model, unlock and open the server door.
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for
more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each
bay.
3.
Locate the defective drive (look for an amber Hard Disk Status light on the
front of the drive).
4. Remove the defective hard disk drive. Move the handle on the drive to the
open position (perpendicular to the drive), and pull the hot-swap drive
assembly from the bay.
5. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
