Replacing Hard Drives or Solid State Drives
Tip You can mix SAS and SATA drives in the same server.
Note You can mix hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs) in the same server. However, You cannot configure
a logical volume (virtual drive) that contains a mix of hard drives and SSDs. That is, when you create a
logical volume, it must contain all hard drives or all SSDs.
Tip You do not have to shut down or power off the server to replace hard drives or SSDs because they are
hot pluggable.
To replace or install a hot-pluggable hard drive, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the drive that you are replacing or remove a blank panel from an empty bay (See Figure 3-24):
a. Press the release button on the face of the hard drive.
b. Grasp the ejector lever and pull the hard drive tray out of the slot.
c. If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the four drive tray screws that secure the drive to the
tray and then lift the drive out of the tray.
