Removal and Replacement Procedures
To remove a non-functioning hot-plug SCSI hard drive:
CAUTION: Remove or replace a hard drive only when the drive failure LED is amber. Data
loss can occur if a drive is removed when the drive online LED is green. Refer to “Hot-Plug
SCSI Hard Drive LEDs” in Chapter 4, “Connectors, LEDs, and Switches,” for more
information.
CAUTION: Remove or replace only one hard drive at a time. The controller relies on other
drives to reconstruct data on the replaced drive. Drive reconstruction is active when the
drive online LED is flashing green.
1. Press the release button to unlock the ejector lever on the hard drive (1).
2. Open the ejector lever to release the drive (2).
3. Slide the drive out of the cage (3).
