Before you begin
You have completed these tasks:
• Obtained a replacement drive of the same type, speed, and capacity of the drive you are removing.
• Read the guidelines for maintaining disk drives.
• Read the guidelines for protecting components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Procedure
1. Examine the drive LEDs to identify the failed drive.
2. Press the red release latch to release the drive handle.
3. Pull the handle outward to disengage the drive from the slot.
4. Grasp the edge of the plastic drive carrier and then slowly remove the drive from the slot.
5. Place the drive on a surface that is protected from electrostatic discharge.
6. Install the replacement drive or a drive filler.
Install a drive
You install a drive to replace a failed, or failing, solid state drive (SSD). The replacement drive must be of the same type, speed,
and capacity of the drive you are replacing. You can also install a filler panel, since the drive box cannot be empty after the
failed drive is removed.
• Do not leave a drive slot empty. Do not remove a failed drive unless you have a replacement drive or blank carrier ready
to install.
• If the server (host) is in a federation, using incompatible drives might cause your federation to function incorrectly. Also,
performance might be degraded while a drive is defective or missing.
Before you begin
You have completed these tasks:
• Removed the failed drive from the server.
• Obtained a replacement drive of the same type, speed, and capacity of the drive you are removing.
• Read the guidelines for maintaining disk drives.
• Read the guidelines for protecting components from electrostatic discharge.
• Verified that no backup operations are running.
Procedure
1. Carefully remove the replacement drive, or filler panel, from its packaging.
2. Hold the drive by the edge of the plastic drive carrier.
3. Press the red release latch to release the drive handle.
4. Rotate the handle outward.
5. Align the drive with the guide rails in the drive box.
