Hot Swap Disk Drives
Note: You do not have to power down the system to remove a Hot-Swappable
assembly from the CPU Drawer.
Removal: This procedure describes how to remove hot swap disk drives from a
hot swap bay while the CPU Drawer is powered on.
If you remove a hot swap disk drive when the CPU Drawer power is off, steps 4 and
5 do not apply.
Attention: Follow all procedures for ESD-sensitive parts while performing these pro-
cedures. For ESD information, see “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 7-3.
Note: SSA requires a unit to be in all six connectors of each backplane. Either an
SSA drive in a carrier or a carrier blank must be in each bay. To add a drive you
must first remove the blank carrier from the bay.
1. Open the front door of the rack unit if it has one.
