Removing a Hot-Plug Hard Drive 1 Remove the bezel. See "Removing and Replacing the Optional Front Bezel" on page 64. 2 From the RAID management software, prepare the drive for removal and wait until the hard-drive indicators on the drive carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely. See your SAS RAID controller documentation for information about hot-plug drive removal. If the drive has been online, the green activity/fault indicator will flash as the drive is powered down. When both drive indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal. 3 Open the drive carrier release handle to release the drive. See Figure 3-24. 4 Slide the hard drive out until it is free of the drive bay. 5 If you do not replace the hard drive, insert a drive blank in the vacated drive bay. See "Installing a Drive Blank" on page 107. NOTICE: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. 108 Installing System Components
