Review "Electrical Safety" on page vi and "Installation guidelines" on page 27. 2. Locate the defective hard disk drive (look for an amber status LED that is lit on the front of the hard disk drive). 3. Make sure the hard disk drive has stopped spinning. 4. Move the handle on the hard disk drive to the open position (perpendicular to the hard disk drive), and pull the hot-swap hard disk drive assembly from the bay. 5.

Replacing a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive
If a hard disk drive in the storage expansion unit fails, you can replace it without turning off the
blade server.
Complete the following steps to replace a SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive in a storage expansion unit
hot-swap bay.
Attention:
To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the SBCE unit for more than one
minute without either a hot-swap hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each storage expansion
unit bay.
1.
Review “Electrical Safety” on page vi and “Installation guidelines” on page 27.
2.
Locate the defective hard disk drive (look for an amber status LED that is lit on the front of the
hard disk drive).
3.
Make sure the hard disk drive has stopped spinning.
4.
Move the handle on the hard disk drive to the open position (perpendicular to the hard disk
drive), and pull the hot-swap hard disk drive assembly from the bay.
5.
Within one minute, install the replacement hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay (see “Installing a
SCSI hot-swap hard disk drive” on page 45 for instructions).
