How can I safely remove or replace a Physical Disk?

The following sections provide information related to safely removing a healthy physical disk:

  • For disks that reside in an enclosure, use the Preparing to Remove a PCIe SSD task to locate the disk within the enclosure and deactivate it prior to removal.
  • For physical disks included in a virtual disk, use the Offline task to deactivate the disk prior to removal. If you need help locating the disk within the enclosure, you can blink LED on the disk.
