Removing the hard drive or hard drive blank
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the D6020 unless
all bays are populated with either a hard drive or a blank. Remove a blank only if a drive is ready
to install or the D6020 is powered down.
To remove the component:
1. Extend the hard drive drawer (on “Extending the hard drive drawer” (page 19)).
2. Remove the hard drive or hard drive blank.
Figure 2 Removing the hard drive blank
Replacing the hard drive
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, for standard FRU removal,
extend the hard drive drawer no more than 10 minutes. Do not operate the D6020 unless all
bays are populated with either a component or a blank. Remove a drive only if another drive is
ready to be installed or the D6020 is powered down.
Before replacing a hard drive, do the following:
• Verify the status of the drive to be replaced by reviewing the hard drive LEDs (see
“Understanding hard drive LEDs” (page 38)) and hard drive LED combinations (see
“Understanding hard drive LED combinations” (page 38)).
• Check the RAID status and configuration to be sure data loss does not occur if the drive is
removed. For more information, see the HPE Smart Storage Administrator User Guide on
the HPE website at http://www.hpe.com.
• Be sure that the replacement hard drive is the same interface and the same or larger capacity.
