The disk drives (up to two) are located at the front left side of the server (as you are facing it). When proper
software and hardware procedures are followed, these disk drives can be removed and replaced while the
server is running.

Thanks,

The drives are hotplug, so using a "normal" LVM replacement procedure you can replace the drive online. Just pull the front cover and open the "door". The H/W path is written on the chassis.
