data that you wish to have over-written. Any data on the replacement hard drive/SSD is immediately lost after
the drive is installed.
NOTE: Not all operating systems support hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating
system.
NOTE: The 2.5 inch hard-drive/SSD configuration supports four warm-swap hard-drives/SSDs. Each hard-drive/SSD is
assigned to a specific node, and the node to which it is assigned must be turned off before servicing the hard-drive/SSD.
1. Open the hard-drive/SSD carrier handle.
2. Insert the hard-drive/SSD carrier into the drive bay. Carefully align the channel on the hard-drive/SSD carrier with the
appropriate drive slot on the sled.
3. Push the drive carrier into the drive bay.
4. Rotate the carrier handle to the closed position while pushing the carrier into the slot until it locks into place.
5. For the 2.5 inch hard-drive/SSD configuration, turn on the node to which the hard-drive/SSD is assigned, using the iDRAC.
The status LED indicator displays a steady green light if the drive is installed correctly. The drive carrier LED green indicator
flashes as the drive rebuilds.
Shutdown procedure for servicing a hard drive/SSD
NOTE: This section is applicable only when you have to turn off the sled to service a hard drive/SSD. In many situations,
the hard drive/SSD can be serviced while the sled is powered on.
CAUTION: If you need to turn off the sled to service a hard drive/SSD, wait 30 seconds after the sled’s power
indicator turns off before removing the hard drive/SSD. Otherwise, the hard drive/SSD may not be recognized
after it is reinstalled and the sled is powered on again.
Configuring the boot drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup.
Removing a 2.5 inch hard drive/SSD from a hard-drive/SSD carrier
1. Remove the four screws from the slide rails on the hard-drive/SSD carrier.
2. Lift the hard drive/SSD out of the hard-drive/SSD carrier.
