Caution - The power supplies in this equipment can produce high energy hazards. Only trained personnel with authorized access to this equipment should remove and replace modules in the system. |
This section describes how to remove and replace a disk drive.
Caution - The replacement disk drive must be the same capacity and same type as the disk drive it is replacing. |
Caution - Never remove a disk drive unless the ID/Status LED is blue (see FIGURE 1). If you need to remove multiple disk drives, always remove and replace one disk drive at a time. |
Note - The disks are hot-swappable and you do not need to disconnect power from the system or other components in order to replace one of these parts. |
Removing a Disk Drive |
1. From the front of the disk tray, locate the failed disk drive (see FIGURE 2). The Activity LED is off and the ID/Status LED is blue, indicating that data is not being transferred to or from the disk and that the disk drive is ready to remove.
Caution - Potential loss of data access - Data might be lost if an active disk drive is removed. If you remove an active disk drive accidentally, wait at least 30 seconds before reinserting it. |
2. Press the release button in and to the right to release the disk ejection lever.
3. Pull the disk ejection lever fully open to unlock and partially eject the disk drive from the tray.
4. Grasp the middle of the disk drive body and pull it toward you to remove it from the tray.

Caution - For products with multiple power cords, all power cords must be disconnected to completely remove power from the system. |
Replacing a Disk Drive |
Caution - Follow all ESD precautions (see ESD Precautions) and use care when handling either the new or failed disk drive. |
1. Unpack the new disk drive and do one of the following:
2. Ensure the new disk drive is the same type and same capacity as the failed disk drive.
3. Ensure the disk ejection lever is in the fully extended position (see FIGURE 3).
4. Align the new disk drive with the open slot and slide the drive into the disk tray.
5. Push the disk drive into the tray slot until the disk ejection lever engages the tray connectors and begins to swing closed.
6. Press the disk ejection lever closed until it locks in place to seat the drive and lock it into the tray.
