Replacing the hard disk drive

If the server uses a RAID controller, a faulty hard disk drive can be replaced
(hot swapped) without stopping the system, provided a spare device is
available.

NOTE: Take care when replacing a hard disk drive while the system is in
operation. An error in the installation procedures could damage the server
or destroy programs and data. Toshiba recommends that you ask your
authorized Magnia service provider to replace the HDD.

To replace a hard disk drive:

1 Open the front door.

2 Identify which disk drive is to be replaced.

3 If the RAID controller is not installed, shut down the server, switch it off

and unplug the power cable.

WARNING: The HDD generates heat when in use. Take care when
removing a HDD to avoid burns. Do not touch it until it cools.

4 Remove the HDD EMI cover.

See “Installing additional hard disk drives” on page 57.

5 Pull on the tab to disengage the disk’s locking lever.
