User Service Guide, Third Edition - HP Integrity cx2620 Server

CAUTION: A hot-pluggable device can require interaction with the operating system before
you can safely remove or install the device into the server. Determine whether the operating
system supports replacement of disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating
system does not support hot-plugging, shut down the operating system before performing these
procedures. Failure to observe this caution can result in system failure.

Removing Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives
To remove a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:
CAUTION: The disk drives in the server are not hot-swappable, they are hot-pluggable. A
manual software procedure may be required to safely remove or insert disk drives while the
server is running. To avoid damage to the hard drives:
• For information about removing and inserting a drive, see the documentation provided
with the disk drive.
• For information about removing and inserting hot-pluggable assemblies, see the operating
system documentation.
1. If required (OS does not support hot-plugging devices), stop the operating system.
