Caution –
You must use hard drives designed for this server, which have a vented
front panel to allow adequate airflow to internal system components. Installing
inappropriate hard drives could result in an overtemperature condition.
The following situations inhibit your ability to hot-plug a drive:
■
If the hard drive contains the operating system, and the operating system is not
mirrored on another drive.
■
If the hard drive cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the
server.
If your drive falls into one of these conditions, you must power off the server before
you replace the hard drive.
