Upgrades and Options

Notice: When the SCSI drive fault LED indicates a
drive fault (steady yellow light), you can remove the
drive and swap in a replacement at any time when the
drive is not being accessed, without needing to power
down the system. However, drive manufacturers
caution against moving a drive that is still spinning
because of possible damage to the drive.

If you are swapping out a faulty SCSI drive, you can
pinpoint which drive to remove by checking the status
LEDs that occur in sets of three above each of the six
drive bays. Refer to “Status LED Indicator
Descriptions” in Chapter 2.

After you determine which drive has been flagged as
faulty, the procedure is the same to swap a drive or to
install one for the first time.
