2. To avoid damage to a hard disk drive, DO NOT remove the drive from the hot-swap bay until it has had time to spin down (approximately 30 seconds). Handle the drive carefully. 3. Before you hot-swap a drive, make sure it is defective. If you partially or completely remove a good drive instead of a defective one, your server might lose valuable data. This situation is especially relevant if your server has a RAID adapter installed and you assigned RAID level 1 or 5 to the logical drives in your disk array. The RAID adapter can rebuild the data that you need, provided that certain conditions are met. Refer to the information provided with the RAID adapter for further details. Refer to the following illustration of the tower model while you perform the steps in this procedure. 1 Filler panel for use with half-high drives (tray and slim filler bezel) 2 Slim filler bezel 3 Hard disk drive 4 Drive tray 5 Drive tray handle (in open position) To replace a drive in a hot-swap bay: 1. Before you begin, do the following: v Read the documentation that comes with your drive. v If your server has a RAID adapter installed, review the information provided with the RAID adapter for information about replacing a drive. 2. If your server is a tower model, unlock and open the server door. Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay. 3. Locate the defective drive (look for an amber Hard Disk Status light on the front of the drive). 4. Remove the defective hard disk drive: move the handle on the drive to the open position (perpendicular to the drive) and pull the hot-swap tray from the bay. 5. Remove the four screws that attach the drive to the hot-swap tray, and remove the drive from the tray. Installing options 59

Before
you
hot-swap
a
drive,
make
sure
it
is
defective.
If
you
partially
or
completely
remove
a
good
drive
instead
of
a
defective
one,
your
server
might
lose
valuable
data.
This
situation
is
especially
relevant
if
your
server
has
a
RAID
adapter
installed
and
you
assigned
RAID
level
1
or
5
to
the
logical
drives
in
your
disk
array.
The
RAID
adapter
can
rebuild
the
data
that
you
need,
provided
that
certain
conditions
are
met.
Refer
to
the
information
provided
with
the
RAID
adapter
for
further
details.
