HotSwap Disk Bay (D Class Only)
The HP9000 D Class Server implements the use of the newly developed HP HotSwap
(hot-plugable), hard disk drives on a common Fast/Wide SCSI bus. The hot-plugable
feature implies the ability to remove or add an inactive disk drive module to a system
while DC power is still applied and the SCSI bus is still active.
Figure C-1 is a view of the hot-plug disk outside the computer cabinet. The hotswap bay
supports Fast Wide SCSI-2 disk modules. Please see the appropriate peripheral entry in
chapter 9 for information on the supported units.

NOTE In the first release of the system product, removal and replacement of disk
modules will only be supported on an inactive SCSI bus. Future software
will allow full utilization of the design capability and instructions will be
supplied with the appropriate software release.
