Removing a hot-plug SCSI hard drive

CAUTION: Always power down the server if the boot partition resides on the drive you are replacing or if you are replacing the only drive in the server.

CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.

1. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs.
2. Back up all server data on the hard drive.
3. Remove the hard drive.
