Remove the storage drive.
■ If you are removing an HDD or SSD storage drive, type the operating system
commands required to stop the server from using the drive; otherwise,
proceed to the next step.
The exact commands required depend on the configuration of your drives. Unmount file
systems or issue RAID commands as needed.
Note - The blue OK to Remove status indicator LED on the drive may or may not light, as
support for this varies depending on the operating system in use. For information on storage
drive status indicators (LEDs), see “Storage Drive Status Indicators” on page 31.
■ If you are removing an NVMe storage drive, see the procedures for your
operating system.
Note - NVMe storage drives are supported only on servers that are running Oracle Solaris,
Oracle Linux, Oracle VM, or Microsoft Windows Server. Servers that are running Red Hat
Enterprise Linux do not support NVMe drives.
