Notes on Disk Replacement
Caution: Never remove a correctly functioning drive in a live Infoblox SoT 1405 Series appliance. If a disk drive fails,
remove the failed disk only. Removing the hard disk from a correctly operating Infoblox SoT 1405 Series appliance
can cause a complete failure of the appliance and require an RMA (Return Material Authorization).

configuration resembles the following figure:
