Installing Hot-Pluggable Disk Drives

To install a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:

1. If required (OS does not support hot-plugging devices), stop the operating system.

2. If a disk filler is installed, remove it by pulling the release lever.

3. With the release lever pulled out, slide a hot-pluggable hard disk into the disk slot until it

is seated.

4. Press the release lever until it is flush with the front of the server. The release lever clicks as

it locks into position.

Menu to rescan the hard drives.

6. If the operating system was stopped in step Step 1, use the EFI Shell map command to verify

that you have correctly installed the newly inserted drive.
