Before You Begin
Label the hard drives before removing them. If you plan to install the hard drives into the same server, you must return each drive to the slot from which it was removed (its original slot).
If you are removing a hard drive configured as a RAID volume and you plan to use the drive again in a non-RAID volume configuration, you must use the HBA's BIOS utility to delete the volume before you remove the drive from the server. See Replacing or Adding a Hard Drive (CRU).
Caution - Potential for data loss. If you install a hard drive that was previously configured with a RAID volume into a server that does not have its hard drives configured as RAID volumes, the existing hard drives in the server are converted to RAID volumes during automatic synchronization. Any data on the existing hard drives in the server is lost. To avoid this problem, use the HBA BIOS utility to delete the RAID volume from the hard drive before removing the hard drive from the server. |
