Hot-Swapping a Hard Drive
If you are swapping out a faulty hard drive, you can determine which drive to
remove by checking its Disk Drive Status LEDs. See “Status LED Indicator
Descriptions” in Chapter 1.
Note:
When the Disk Error 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. Drive manufacturer's caution against moving a
drive that is still spinning because of possible damage to the
drive. Also, when the Disk Error LED indicates that the hard
disk drive is being rebuilt (flashing amber light) do not
remove the drive.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this
chapter.
2. Unlock and open the front door on the tower cabinet or front covers on the
rack-mount system. See
Opening and Closing the Front Door of the Tower
Cabinet earlier in this chapter or Removing and Installing the Front Covers
of the Rack-Mount System earlier in this chapter.
3. Check all the hard disk drive status LEDs to confirm which faulty drive to
remove. Each drive has two status indicators located on its front handle. See
Table 1-2. Disk Drive Status LED Panel Indicators in Chapter 1.
Note:
Depending on the drive fault, the drive may be
still spinning when you remove it. Follow the next step
exactly when removing drives.
4.
Grasp the handle of the hard disk’s carrier and unlock the lever located at the
bottom of the carrier handle, see Figure 4-34. Pull the faulty drive out of the
bay far enough to disengage the drive connector from the backplane. Wait
approximately 10 seconds until the drive spins down, then remove the drive
from the bay.
Note:
Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic
wrist strap.
5.
Place the removed hard drive on an antistatic surface.
6. Remove the replacement drive from its protective wrapper and place it on an
antistatic surface. If a drive carrier was not shipped with the replacement
drive, use the carrier from the removed drive.
7. Place the removed hard drive in an antistatic wrapper.
