Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drives
Systems with an optional SCSI backplane board and an optional SCSI RAID controller card support up to four hot-plug hard drives. The hard drives plug into
the SCSI backplane board, which is connected to channel A on the optional SCSI RAID controller card (see
Figure 7 -12 ). For instructions on installing the
optional SCSI backplane board, see " Installing the Optional SCSI Backplane Board ."

Removing a Hot-Plug SCSI Hard Drive
1. Remove the bezel. See " Removing the Bezel " in "Troubleshooting Your System."
2. Take the hard drive offline and wait until the hard-drive indicator codes on the drive carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely. See Table 2 -3
for a list of hard-drive indicator codes.
If the drive has been online, the drive status indicator will blink green 2 times per second as the drive is powered down. When all indicators are off, the
drive is ready for removal.
See your operating system documentation for more information on taking the hard drive offline.
3. Open the hard-drive carrier handle to release the drive. See Figure 7 -11 .
