HP 3000 Enterprise Virtual Array - Manual (Page 162)

NOTE:
If one or more of the disk drives inserted does not reach the solid green indication after
70 seconds, remove the drive or drives and check for damaged connectors on the disk
drive and drive enclosure.
If no damage is found, repeat Steps 1 and 2. After two attempts, replace drives that do
not reach the solid green indication. When all of the inserted disk drives successfully
reach the solid green indication, then repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the next set of 1 to 4 disk
drives to be inserted.
NOTE:
Drive insertion refers to physically inserting drives into drive enclosure slots. It is not
synonymous with drive addition to a disk group.

2. Pull on the drive to disconnect from the backplane connector.
CAUTION:
The carrier can be dropped due to the rapidly rotating media. To prevent equipment
failure, remove the carrier from the enclosure when the media has stopped rotating. This
takes approximately 30 seconds.
3. When you are sure that the media is no longer spinning, remove the drive from the enclosure.
4. Insert the drive blank (see Figure 70 ) into the enclosure bay until the locking tabs engage the
enclosure.
