Ê If the HDD / SSD module to be removed is combined into a RAID array,
please proceed as follows:
Customer Replaceable Units (CRU)
Average task duration: 5 minutes
RAID level Procedure
RAID 0
Only remove an HDD module combined in a RAID 0
array if defective.
V CAUTION!
Removing an operational HDD module will
result in data loss!
RAID 1
RAID 5
Removing an HDD module from a RAID 1 or RAID 5
array will not result in data loss.
However, the removed drive needs to be replaced
immediately by an HDD module of the same or larger

will be performed as a background process as
