Connecting Hardware Devices
If your server is equipped with a RAID controller with a specified spare hard disk drive
(hot spare) in reserve, the server can run in a "downgraded operational state" with up
to two failed hard disk drives if the RAID array has had time to rebuild from the first
failure. However, if a third device fails, important programs or data may be destroyed
or lost.
TECHNICAL NOTE: If your server is equipped with a RAID controller, but Power
Console (Windows NT) or MegaRAID Manager (NetWare) is not installed, you can
replace a faulty hard disk drive while the server is running, but you will not be able
to recover (rebuild) the disk array.
If the server does not have a RAID controller
If the server is not configured with a RAID controller, check the status indicator of each
hard disk drive to determine which drive is faulty.
The server's six hard disk drive bays are hot-swappable, allowing you to remove any
drive while the server is running.
WARNING: Use extreme caution when removing a hard disk drive. To avoid a
severe system failure, while the server is running never attempt to replace a critical
system drive (i.e., the drive with on which the Windows NT Partition is stored) or
data drive that is routinely accessed by the system, its applications and/or users.
Replacing a hard disk drive
1 Open the server's upper and lower front doors.
2 Locate the faulty hard disk drive.
The status indicator of the faulty drive will be amber.
3 Open the latch of the drive bay in which you are replacing the faulty hard disk drive.
The hard disk drive partially extends from the drive bay.
