Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives

The "hot-plug" feature of the system's internal disk drives permits the removal and installation of drives while the system is operational. All drives are easily accessed from the front of the system. Hot-plug technology significantly increases the system's serviceability and availability, by providing the ability to:

• Increase storage capacity dynamically to handle larger work loads and improve system performance.

• Replace disk drives without service disruption.
