Removing and Replacing a Disk Drive
The disk drives are located in the front of the chassis. Unless mirroring is used, the nPartition must be shut
down to remove or replace the drive that serves as the boot disk. Refer to “Shutting Down nPartitions and
Powering Off Hardware Components” for more information. The remainder of the internal disk drives are
hot-pluggable.
CAUTION Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD
safety precautions could result in damage to the SEU.
