2-14 Compaq ProLiant 6400R Maintenance and Service Guide Hot-Plug Hard Drives CAUTION: Never turn a ProLiant 6400R storage system off while the server controlling it is powered on. Doing so will cause the SMART Controller in the server to turn on the amber Drive Failure LED icon. This could result in permanent data loss. When removing and replacing hot-plug hard drives, Never remove a hot-plug hard drive if the LED icon is green. See "Hot-Plug Hard Drives" in Chapter 4. Replace a hot-plug hard drive only when the LED icon is amber. Never remove more than one hard drive at a time. If the server is set in an array configuration and a hard drive is replaced, the controller uses data from the other drives in the array to reconstruct data on the replacement drive. If more than one hard drive is removed, a complete data set is not available to reconstruct data on the replacement drives. Never remove a working hard drive when another one has been marked as failed by the controller. Permanent data loss will occur. Hard drives marked as failed by the controller are indicated by the amber Drive Failure LED icon on the drive tray. Never remove a drive while another is being rebuilt. A drive Online LED icon flashes green while it is being rebuilt. A replaced drive is restored from data stored on the other drives. If only one hard drive is used, install it in the lowest numbered bay. See "Media Storage" under "Removable Media and Hard Drives" in this chapter. If several drives are used, the system boot drive should be installed in the lowest numbered bay. CAUTION: Replace a hot-plug hard drive only when the drive LED icon is amber. Do not remove a hot-plug hard drive if the online LED icon is green.
