Removing hard drive
Prerequisites
- If applicable, remove the front bezel.
- Using the management software, prepare the hard drive for removal. If the hard drive is online, the green activity or fault indicator flashes while the drive is turning off. When the hard drive indicators are off, the hard drive is ready for removal. For more information, see the documentation for the storage controller.
CAUTION:To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports
hot swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with
your operating system.
CAUTION:Before attempting to remove or install a hard drive while the
system is running, see the documentation for the storage controller
card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to
support hard drive removal and insertion.
CAUTION:Mixing hard drives from previous generations of Precision Workstations is not supported.
Steps
- Press the release button to open the hard drive release handle.
- Holding the handle, slide the hard drive out of the hard drive slot.
Next steps
NOTE:If you are not replacing
the hard drive immediately, insert a hard drive blank in the empty
hard drive slot.
