HotPlug Disk Drive Replacement

The internal disk drives (up to four) are located at the front right side of the server (as you are
facing it). When proper software and hardware procedures are followed, internal disk drives
can be removed and replaced while the server is running.

CAUTION:

Disk Drives can be removed or installed with the server still powered on. This is

referred to as a "manual HotPlug".

However, DO NOT replace a HotPlug disk drive until a controlled shutdown of the operating
system has been performed.

To replace a disk drive in the server, grasp the tab at the bottom of the cam latch on the selected
disk drive, push the button inside the cam latch, and pull the cam latch out and up. The disk
