Removing an Internal Hard Drive Hard drives can be removed from the HP Media Vault. However, hot swapping is not supported. The Media Vault must be powered down prior to removing the drive. To remove a hard drive from total storage 1 At the computer, click Start, All Programs, HP Media Vault, and then Control Center. 2 On the Tools tab, click Customize HP Media Vault. You are prompted for an administrator name and password if you set one up. For additional information, see Editing System Settings on page 2-26. 3 On the Disks tab, locate the internal disk you want to remove. 4 Click Safely Remove. When the server is ready, you receive a message telling you that it's okay to remove the drive from the server. 5 Click OK. 6 Be sure that the light-bar for the hard drive is purple . This indicates that the drive has been properly removed from the server's total storage. 7 Power down the server by pressing the power button on the back of the server and wait until it completely shuts off. Note: Removing non-mirrored hard disks can cause undesirable behaviors. In a non-mirrored system, files may span multiple disks and removing one disk makes the entire HP Media Vault non-operational (at least until the disk is reconnected). If you remove a non-mirrored disk and change your mind, replace the drive. Click Fix under the disks Actions to add the drive back to the total storage space. 10- Version 122
