7.2.8 Replacing a 2.5-inch HDD / SSD module
V CAUTION!
● Only remove an HDD / SSD module during operation if the drive is
not currently being accessed. Observe the indicators on the
HDD / SSD module, as described in the "PRIMERGY
TX300 S8 / RX350 S8 Server" operating manual".
● Under no circumstances should you remove an HDD / SSD module
while the system is in operation if you are not sure that the drive is
operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is
operating in RAID level 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 50, 6 or 60.
An HDD / SSD module can only be replaced during operation in
conjunction with a corresponding RAID configuration.
● All HDD / SSD modules (drives) must be uniquely identified so that
they can be reinstalled in their original mounting locations later. If this
is not done, existing data can be lost.
