Removing a Hot-Swap Hard Disk Drive
CAUTION You must remove the drive slowly to ensure that the drive
heads are parked prior to removal. Be sure to follow these
instructions carefully to prevent handling damage, such as
head slaps or head actuator unlocking.
1. To unlock the drive, push the locking latch in and then pull the ejector
handle toward you.
2. Gently pull the drive out about an inch to disengage the power connection.
3. Wait about 30 seconds for the drive to stop spinning and the drive heads
to park.
4. Use your hand to support the bottom of the drive. Slowly pull the drive
straight out. Do not allow the drive to fall.
5. If you are removing the drive from an HP NetServer LH 4r, turn the drive
slowly to its horizontal storage orientation.
6. Place the drive in an electrostatic protected container. Do not stack drives.
Integrated HP NetRAID
The HP NetServer contains an integrated HP NetRAID controller, which puts the
power of the HP NetRAID series of DACs (disk array controllers) in the
NetServer with no additional hardware.
HP NetRAID technology lets you link multiple hard disk drives together and
write data across them as if they were one large drive. With the integrated HP
NetRAID controller, you can configure your linked drives into a RAID
(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) subsystem.
Refer to the Integrated HP NetRAID Controller Configuration Guide for
complete information. You can also find the guide on the following HP website:
