Figure 83 Disk Drive Detail
Replacing the Disk Drive
1. Sometimes diskinfo and ioscan will display cached data. Running diskinfo on the
device without a disk installed clears the cached data. Enter either of the following commands.
For the diskinfo command, replace x 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; use a slow, firm pressure properly seat the connection.
4. Rotate the front locking latch inward, until the release tab locks into place, to secure the disk
drive in the chassis.
5. Spin up the disk by entering either of the following commands:
• #diskinfo -v /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx
• #ioscan -f

chassis (Figure 84). You must power off the system before attempting to remove or replace this
CRU. See “Powering Off Hardware Components and Powering On the Server” (page 134) and
