Remove a hot-swap drive
Use this information to remove a hot-swap drive.
About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 185 to ensure that you work safely.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
• To ensure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two minutes
without either a drive or a drive filler installed in each bay.
The following describes the information that you must consider for this task:
• Ensure that you have backed up data on your drive, especially if it is part of a RAID array.
– Before you make changes to drives, RAID adapters, drive backplanes, or drive cables, back up all
important data that is stored on the drives.
– Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration information.
• If one or more NVMe drives are to be removed, it is recommended to disable them first in Safely Remove
Hardware and Eject Media (Windows) or filesystem (Linux). See the drive label to determine the type of the
drive to remove. If the drive bay numbers come with the term “NVMe”, it indicates the installed drives are
NVMe drives.
