Using the RAID management software, prepare the hard drive for removal.
Wait until the hard-drive indicators on the
hard-drive
carrier signal that
the drive can be removed safely.
See your storage controller
documentation for information about hot-swap hard drive removal.

hard drive
has been online, the green
activity/
fault indicator flashes
as the
