ServeRAID information: In some cases, the ServeRAID Manager program will automatically reset the drive to the Hot Spare or Rebuild state. If the drive-state change does not occur automatically (amber LED stays lit), see the ServeRAID Manager program online help for information about changing the state of the drive from the current state to another state, such as Hot Spare or Ready. The amber LED turns off within 10 seconds after the drive-state change. 7. Configure the hard disk drive using the appropriate software. Replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive Hard disk drive problems include any malfunctions that delay, interrupt, or prevent successful I/O activity between the hosts and the hard disk drives in the storage subsystem. This includes transmission problems between the host controllers and the drives. This section explains how to replace a failed drive. Attention: Failure to replace a hard disk drive in the correct bay might result in loss of data. If data is stored on the hard disk, label the drive before you remove it. Then, when you replace the drive, install it in the same drive bay from which you removed it. Check the hardware and software documentation that comes with your server to see whether there are restrictions regarding hard disk drive configurations. Some system SCSI configurations might not allow mixing different hard disk drive capacities or types within an array. Complete the following steps to replace a hot-swap hard disk drive: 1. Read the instructions that come with the hard disk drive. 2. Read the safety information beginning on page iii and "Installation guidelines" on page 35. 3. Find the hard disk drive that you want to remove. Attention: Never hot-swap a hard disk drive when its green activity LED is flashing. Hot-swap a drive only when its amber status LED is lit (not flashing) or when the drive is inactive (activity LED is off). 4. Remove the hard disk drive.

ServeRAID
information:
In
some
cases,
the
ServeRAID
Manager
program
will
automatically
reset
the
drive
to
the
Hot
Spare
or
Rebuild
state.
If
the
drive-state
change
does
not
occur
automatically
(amber
LED
stays
lit),
see
the
ServeRAID
Manager
program
online
help
for
information
about
changing
the
state
of
the
drive
from
the
current
state
to
another
state,
such
as
Hot
Spare
or
Ready.
The
amber
LED
turns
off
within
10
seconds
after
the
drive-state
change.

Replacing
a
hot-swap
hard

drive
Hard
disk
drive
problems
include
any
malfunctions
that
delay,
interrupt,
or
prevent
successful
I/O
activity
between
the
hosts
and
the
hard
disk
drives
in
the
storage
subsystem.
This
includes
transmission
problems
between
the
host
controllers
and
the
drives.
This
section
explains
how
to
replace
a
failed
drive.
Attention:
Failure
to
replace
a
hard
disk
drive
in
the
correct
bay
might
result
in
loss
of
data.
If
data
is
stored
on
the
hard
disk,
label
the
drive
before
you
remove
it.
Then,
when
you
replace
the
drive,
install
it
in
the
same
drive
bay
from
which
you
removed
it.
Check
the
hardware
and
software
documentation
that
comes
with
your
server
to
see
whether
there
are
restrictions
regarding
hard
disk
drive
configurations.
Some
system
SCSI
configurations
might
not
allow
mixing
different
hard
disk
drive
capacities
or
types
within
an
array.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
replace
a
hot-swap
hard
disk
drive:
1.
Read
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
hard
disk
drive.
2.
Read
the
safety
information
beginning
on
page
iii
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
35.
3.
Find
the
hard
disk
drive
that
you
want
to
remove.
Attention:
Never
hot-swap
a
hard
disk
drive
when
its
green
activity
LED
is
flashing.
Hot-swap
a
drive
only
when
its
amber
status
LED
is
lit
(not
flashing)
or
when
the
drive
is
inactive
(activity
LED
is
off).
4.
Remove
the
hard
disk
drive.
a.
Press
the
latch
on
the
bottom
of
the
tray
handle
to
release
it.
b.
Pull
out
the
tray
handle
to
the
open
position.
