D-23 Hot-Pluggable Drives The SMART-2DH Controller, used with a Compaq ProLiant Storage System, a Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Storage System, a Compaq ProLiant Server or Rack-Mountable Compaq ProLiant Server, supports hot-pluggable drives. You can install or remove these drives without turning off the system power. This feature is a function of the Compaq ProLiant Storage System and the Compaq ProLiant Server and operates independently of the operating system. CAUTION: Do not turn off the Compaq ProLiant Storage System or the Compaq server when removing or installing the hot-pluggable replacement drives. If you turn off the ProLiant Storage System while the server power is on, the SMART-2DH Controller marks all the drives as "failed." This could result in permanent data loss when the Storage System is turned back on. If a drive fails, the Service Required LED on the front panel of the Compaq ProLiant lights, indicating that a problem has occurred. Refer to the Compaq ProLiant and Rack-Mountable ProLiant Servers Reference Guide for more information on replacing drives. Also see Figure D-12 for conditions to safely replace a drive using the three indicators on each of the hot-pluggable drive trays.
