6-4 SPARC Enterprise M4000/M5000 Servers Service Manual • August 2009
6.1.1 Accessing the Hard Disk Drive
Note – If the hard disk drive is the boot device, the hard disk will have to be
replaced using cold replacement procedures. However, active replacement can be
used if the boot disk can be isolated from the Solaris OS by disk mirroring software
and other software. See “Cold Replacement (Powering the Server Off and On)” on
page 4-12.
● Remove the hard disk drive from the domain.
This step includes using the cfgadm command to determine the Ap_Id and
disconnecting the hard disk drive. See “Removing a FRU From a Domain” on
page 4-4.
6.1.2 Removing the Hard Disk Drive
Caution – Use proper ESD grounding techniques when handling components. See
“Safety Precautions” on page 1-1.
1. Push the button on the front of the hard disk drive to release the drive latch
(
FIGURE 6-3).
2. Pull the latch so that it is straight out from the hard disk drive to unseat the
drive.
3. Remove the hard disk drive and place it on the ESD mat.
