Replacing HDDs in HT Servers
The AMX line of MAX HT servers support hot-swappable 400GB hard disk drives (HDDs), accessible
behind the faceplate on the front panel (FIG. 49). Typically a new HDD will be required only if an
existing one has failed.
There are several operations that are required to successfully replace an HDD in an HT server, all of
which are described in this document:
1. The physical removal of the damaged HDD, and the subsequent installation of the replacement
HDD.
2. Authentication of the new HDD with the server.

Replacement HDDs are available from AMX (FG 2178-400).
Only HDDs provided by AMX can be used as replacements in HT servers, and in
order to replace a HDD in an HT server, the drive must be installed and authenticated
according to the steps outlined in this document.
