Thank you for the welcome and yes your post does shed light on what I was thinking along the lines of with regards to the hot-swap.
I am out of office and forgot to grab the exact model number but the system is an older IBM TotalStorage unit. Attached is a picture I have found that looks somewhat like the unit we have in place minus the model number.
I do appreciate the help and response and I am sorry for the limited information I have; I am new to the field but that is no excuse.
