Removing a Unit Through 3BM
 
Note: Even though removing a unit is supported in 3BM, you can also simply power down to remove the applicable drives since you are not booted yet.
To remove a unit through 3BM
1
If your drives are not in hot swap bays, you do not need to remove a unit via 3BM. Simply power down and remove the applicable drives. Refer to your system's user guide for details on removing fixed disks.
 
Warning: Physically removing drives which are not in hot swap bays can result in a system hang or may even damage the system and the drive.
2
An asterisk appears in the left-most column to indicate that the unit is selected.
3
Tab to the Maintain Unit button and press Enter.
4
In the pop-up menu, select Remove and press Enter.
You can now physically remove the drives and move them to another controller. If your drives are in hot swap bays, you can do this without shutting down the system.
