CAUTION The disk drives in the hp Integrity cx2600 Server are not hot-swappable. They are merely
hot-pluggable. A manual software procedure may be required in order to safely remove or
insert disk drives while the system is running. To avoid damage to the hard drives:
Refer to the documentation provided with the disk drive for additional information about
removing and inserting a drive.
Refer to the operating system documentation for additional information about removing and
inserting hot-plug assemblies.
Step 1. If required (OS does not support hot-plugging devices), stop the operating system.
Step 2. Squeeze inward on the colored release clip and pull the release lever to pull the drive from the
server chassis.
