Re: Identifying a failed hard drive on a 510 (V4R5)

It would appear that you can hot swap.

This is the oldest service manuals I could find on the web sites I have...

Concurrent DASD add and repair on the Models 500, 510 and 530 make it 
possible to
add and/or repair internal DASD units and externally attached 9337 DASD 
devices on the
system while the system is fully operational. The availability 
improvement of mirroring and
device parity protection (RAID) is enhanced by being able to add and/or 
repair DASD
devices while the system continues to run. Also, using OS/400 V3R6, you 
may mix-or- match
different disk units with equal capacity for mirroring.
