Removing a SAS drive is a hot-swap operation. You must run commands on the server before you remove the drive.
If you have not prepared for service, do so now. See Preparing for Service.
If you are removing a drive as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, go to Step 3.
See Remove the Filter.
If the drive cannot be taken offline without shutting down the OS, follow instructions in Power Off the Server (Power Button - Graceful) then go to Step 7.
If the drive can be taken offline without shutting down the OS, go to Step 5.
See your OS documentation.
See SAS Drive LEDs.
If you removed a drive as part of a replacement operation, install a new drive. See Install a SAS Drive.
If you removed a drive as part of another component's removal or installation procedure, return to that procedure. See Component Service Task Reference for assistance.
If you are not replacing the drive, install a drive filler panel in its place. See Install a SAS Drive.
Caution - Overheating hazard. There must be no empty drive slots. |
