Shutdown Procedure for Servicing a Hard Drive
NOTE:
This section applies only to situations where the server module must be powered down to service a hard
drive. In many situations, the hard drive can be serviced while the server module powered on.
If you need to power off the server module to service a hard drive, wait 30 seconds after the server
module’s power indicator turns off before removing the hard drive. Otherwise, the hard drive may not be
recognized after the hard drive is reinstalled and the server module is powered on again.
Configuring the Boot Drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot order specified in the System
Setup program (see "Using the System Setup Program" on page 43.
