Lenovo ThinkAgile HX1321 Series - Hot-Swap Drive Replacement; Remove a Hot-Swap Drive

Hot-swap drive replacement
Follow these instructions to replace a front HDD/SSD in theThinkAgile HX1321, and HX3321 Series server.
Each ThinkAgile HX1321, and HX3321 Series server supports solid-state-drives (SSDs) and hard-disk-drives
(HDDs).
As user data are striped across these drives, they are referred to as data drives. While a node might be able
to self-correct for a data drive failure, it does lead to system degradation. To prevent this, always replace
failed data drives as soon as possible.
Following are the indications of a failed front HDD/SSD:
• The Nutanix Prism Web console shows a disk alert.
• The amber LED on the node front panel is illuminated.
