Installing or Replacing a Drive Module

If you’re not using an Xserve RAID Card, the drive modules in the Xserve are hot-

pluggable, so you can add, remove, or replace them while the Xserve is operating.

A status light on the drive handle indicates when it’s safe to remove a drive without risk

to the information stored on it.

If you are using an Xserve RAID Card, you can replace a failed drive while the Xserve is

operating. However, if you want to replace an entire RAID set, turn o the Xserve before

you move the drives.

About Drive Modules for the Xserve

The Xserve accepts both SATA (Serial ATA) Apple Drive Modules and qualied third-

party SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) drive modules. For information on qualied drive

modules, go to www.apple.com/store. If you are using an Xserve RAID Card, be sure to

use drive modules that are all the same size and type.

To install or replace a drive module:

1 If the Xserve case is locked, use the enclosure key to unlock the security lock on the

front panel.

2 Remove the blank drive module or the drive module that’s currently installed.
