Hi All,

I have a an older PowerEdge 1950. it has a PERC5I controller and 3 36G SAS drives. One of the drives is blinking yellow and needs to be replaced. This is an older server that i adopted from the previous admin. It has Redhat Linux installed. With this controller are these drives hot swappable? Can I just purchase a new drive and switch it out for it to rebuild?
