7.2.6 Removing 2.5-inch HDD / SSD modules
7.2.6.1 Preliminary steps
Ê If the HDD / SSD module to be removed is combined into a RAID array,
please proceed as follows:
In order to permanently remove an operational HDD module that is part of a
RAID array from the server, you first need to delete the array using
ServerView RAID Manager or BIOS Utility (see "ServerView Suite RAID
Management" user guide and manuals of RAID controller).
V CAUTION!
All data on all HDDs / SSDs in the array will be lost! Be sure to back
up your data before deleting a RAID array.
