1. Determine if you need to shut down the OS to remove the drive, and perform one of these actions.

1. If the drive cannot be taken offline without shutting down the OS, follow instructions in “Power Off the Server (Power Button - Graceful)” on page 69 then go to Step #.
2. If the drive can be taken offline without shutting down the OS, go to Step 5.

2. Take the drive offline according to your OS.   See your OS documentation.

1. Attach an anti-static wrist strap.

3. Remove the Front Air Filter

1. On the front air filter pinch the right and left release levers inwards, pivot the air filter forward and lift it out and away from the chassis.
   
2. Fully loosen the two captive screws at the rear of the top cover.

4. Replace the Faulty SAS disk drive

1. Verify that the drive's blue Ready-to-Remove LED is lit.
2. Press the release button and pivot the release lever open to the right.
3. Grasp the release lever and pull the drive out of the chassis.
4. Set the drive aside.

5.  Install the replacement SAS disk drive

1. Push the release button of the replacement disk drive.  The release lever pops out
2. Align the drive with the slot where it installs into the chassis.  The connector is at the rear of the drive and the release button is on the left.
3. Press on the drive to slide the drive into the chassis until the release lever moves slightly inward.
4. Press the release lever fully closed with a click, securing the drive into the chassis.

6. Reinstall the Air Filter

1. Set the bottom edge of the filter into the lip at the front of the chassis.  The left and right release levers are facing forward.
2. Pivot the filter to vertical.  The release levers snap the filter into place.

7. Verify a Drive

1. Access Oracle ILOM.
2. Check for the presence of the drive.   
   -> show /SYS/DBP/HDDx/PRSNT
   /SYS/DBP/HDD0/PRSNT
   Targets:
   Properties:
   type = Entity Presence
   ipmi_name = HDD0/PRSNT
   class = Discrete Sensor
   value = Present
   alarm_status = cleared
   ->
   where x is 0 to 7.
