vThe LED status that is on the front of the appliance for the hard drive is illuminated in amber.
vYou are instructed to do so by IBM®Support.
Procedure
Complete the following steps to replace a hard disk drive:
1. Slide the orange lock on the hard drive assembly to the left to unlock it.
2. Press the blue button to open the lever.
3. Pull the lever toward you to pull the drive from the chassis, as shown in Figure 1. Set the drive aside.
4. Unpack the replacement hard disk drive. When you unpack the replacement drive, make sure that the
gold connectors on the back of the drive do not touch your hands or the packing material.
5. Align the replacement drive carefully with the assembly bay, and insert the drive into the chassis.
Make sure that the gold connectors do not touch the chassis as you insert the replacement drive in the

Results
The appliance automatically recognizes the new drive and rebuilds the array. The hard disk drive activity
lights flicker rapidly until the array is rebuilt. The array is finished rebuilding when the amber warning
lights for the hard drive are not illuminated.
The amount of time the appliance takes to rebuild the array depends on the size of the hard disk drive
and on the number of other programs that are also running on the appliance.
