WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

1. Identify the storage drive you wish to remove.
2. Determine whether the storage drive can be hot-plugged or cold-plugged.
3. You must power off the server, if the storage drive:
a. Contains the operating system, and the operating system is not mirrored on
another drive.
b. Cannot be logically isolated from the online operations of the server.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:
Removing the drive
1. Do one of the following:
   a. To hot-plug a drive, unconfigure the storage drive, as required.
You must take the drive offline before you can safely remove it. This removes
the logical software links to the drive and prevents any applications from
accessing it.
   b. To cold-plug a drive, you must power off the server before you can safely remove the storage drive.
2. On the drive you plan to remove, push the storage drive release button to open the latch.
3. Grasp the latch and pull the drive out of the drive slot.
Installing the drive
1. If necessary, remove the blank panel from the chassis: The server might have covering unoccupied storage drive slots.
2. Look for the slot you want to replace the drive.
3. Slide the drive into the drive slot until it is fully seated.
4. Close the latch to lock the drive in place.
5. If:
   a. you have hot-plugged the drive, configure the storage drive.
   b. you have cold-plugged the drive, restore power to the server .

Caution: Whenever you remove a storage drive, you should replace it with another
storage drive or a filler panel before you power on the server; otherwise the server
might overheat due to improper airflow.
