Abstract
A method and computer program product secure a hot-swap data storage device against being manually physically removed from an operable position within a chassis bay of a computer system. The hot-swap data storage device is released to be manually physically removed from the operable position within the chassis bay of the computer system in response to determining that the data storage device is not active. The hot-swap data storage device may, for example, be secured and released using an electronically-actuated lock.
