Removal and replacement procedures 39 - In RAID 1+0 configurations, any drives that are not mirrored to other removed or failed drives can be simultaneously replaced offline without data loss. To remove the component: CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the storage enclosure unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank. 1. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs. 2. Back up all data on the hard drive. 3. Remove the hard drive. To replace the component: 1. Slide the drive into the cage until it clicks, locking the drive into place. 2. Close the lever. IMPORTANT: When the drive is inserted, the drive LEDs flash for 2 seconds to indicate that the drive is seated properly and receiving power. 3. As the drive begins to spin, be sure that the drive LEDs illuminate one at a time and then turn off together to indicate that the system has recognized the new drive.
