Servicing the hard disk drives and power supply

The server from Honeywell is configured with five 146 GB SAS hard drives. Four are used in a RAID-5
configuration and the fifth hard drive is a hot spare. The configuration also contains a dual redundant
power supply. Both the hard disk drives and power supplies are hot swappable. You must, however,
remove and replace only one power supply or hard disk drive at a time. Ensure that this is done on a
system that is powered on. Refer to the HP documentation listed in the following table for detailed
instructions on swapping the power supply and hard disk drive.
