If you are removing an HDD or SSD storage drive, type the required operating
system commands to stop the server from using the drive; otherwise, proceed to
Step 4.
The exact commands required depend on the configuration of your
drives. Unmount file systems or issue RAID commands, as
needed.
Note:
The blue OK to Remove status
indicator LED on the drive might not light, as support for this varies
depending on the operating system in use. For information on storage drive
status indicators (LEDs), see Storage Drive
Status Indicators.
If you are removing an NVMe storage drive, see the procedure for
your operating system:
Note:
NVMe storage drives are
supported only on servers that are running Oracle Solaris or Oracle
Linux.
If you are not replacing the drive, install a filler panel in the
empty drive slot to maintain proper airflow and perform
administrative tasks to configure the server to operate without the
drive.
