Identify the drive bay in which you plan to install the hot-swap drive.

If a drive bay filler is installed, pinch the grip point and pull it away from the compute node.

Touch the static-protective package that contains the hot-swap drive or solid-state drive to any
unpainted metal surface on the Flex System chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component; then, remove the drive from the package.
Step 4.
Open the release handle on the drives into the bay until the release handle catches on the bezel,

Step 5.
Lock the drives into place by closing the release handle until it clicks.
Step 6.
Check the drive activity LEDs to make sure that the drive is operating correctly.
