Replacing failed drive on Dell T610
I am about to replace a failed drive on our T610 with PERC H700 raid, after a little reading here it seems you have to select "prepare for removal" from the Openmanage server admin, but the only options I see are "Blink' and "Unblink" ?
I have attached a screenshot of the Openmanage page.
What do I do now?

Even the cabled disks are hot-swap disks. It just isn't easy to replace those while the server is running because as I mentioned earlier, you have to take half the server apart to get to the disks and replace them. But theoretically if you can replace them without disturbing the rest of the server's electronics you could also hot-swap those disks. It's just not practical there.

Well it seems I was worrying over nothing, pulled the failed drive with server running, replaced with new and Openmanage now states "Rebuilding"
Thanks all :)
