Replacing the Disk Drive
To replace a disk drive, follow these steps:
1. Sometimes diskinfo and ioscan display cached data. Running diskinfo on the device
without a disk installed clears the cached data. Enter the following commands.
For the diskinfo command, the ‘x’ s are replaced with actual values.
#diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
#ioscan -f
2. Be sure the front locking latch is open, then carefully position the disk drive in the chassis.
3. Slide the disk drive into the chassis; a slow, firm pressure is needed to properly seat the
connection.
4. Depress the front locking latch to secure the disk drive in the chassis.
5. Spin up the disk by entering one of the following commands:
#diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
#ioscan -f
Removing and Replacing a Removable Media Drive
A removable media drive may either be a DVD drive or DDS-4 tape drive located in the front of
the chassis. The system power must be shut down before attempting to remove or replace this
FRU. For more information, see “Powering Off Hardware Components and Powering On the
Server” (page 106) and Appendix E (page 203).
