Hot-Plug Disk Drives
The two hot-plug disk drives are located in the front of the HP Integrity rx4640.
CAUTION A hot-plug device may require interaction with the operating system before the device can be safely removed
from or installed into the server. Verify that the operating system supports removing/replacing disk drives
while the operating system is running. If the operating system does not support this feature, shut down the
operating system before attempting this procedure. Failure to observe this caution will result in system failure.
NOTE The replacement disk drive must be the same product ID as the disk drive that is being replaced.
HP often uses different manufacturers for disks that have the same product number. The replacement disk
drive will have the same capacity and block size as the defective disk because they have the same product
number.
Removing a Hot-Plug Disk Drive
To remove a hot-plug disk drive, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Grasp the tab at the bottom of the latch on the selected disk drive.
Step 2. Push the button inside the latch and pull the latch out and up; the disk will unlock.
Step 3. Pull gently until the hot-plug disk drive slides out of the chassis.
Replacing a Hot-Plug Disk Drive
One additional hot-plug disk drive may be added to your HP Server in slot 2. Always use low profile disk drives (1.0” height)
in your hp Integrity rx4640. See Figure 7-27, “Disk Drive Installation in Slots 1 and 2.”
To install a hot-plug disk drive, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Slide the hot-plug hard disk into slot 1 until it is seated.
Step 2. Close the drive-ejector handle by pushing it down until it clicks.
