Remove Drive.

The

Remove Drive

link removes a drive from the controller

so that you can safely unplug it. In the Unit Maintenance section, this link is
only provided for drives that can be safely removed without creating an
inoperable unit. (For example, a RAID 5 missing 2 or more drives or a RAID
0 missing 1 or more drives would become inoperable.) If you remove a drive
from a redundant unit, the unit will become degraded. Once a unit has become
degraded, additional drives cannot be removed without making it inoperable,
so no

Remove Drive

link will display.

Warning:

Physically removing drives which are not in hot swap bays can result in

a system hang, data loss, or may even damage the system and the drive.
