Non-hot-swap drive

This topic applies only to server models that support non-hot-swap drives. See "Features and specifications
of your server" on page 7 for more information about the supported non-hot-swap drives.

• "Installing a non-hot-swap drive" on page 71
The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed HDDs in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant bays are
covered by an EMI-protective panel.
Attention: An unoccupied drive bay without any other protection might impact the EMI integrity and cooling
of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage. To maintain the EMI integrity and
cooling of the server, install a new non-hot-swap drive as soon as you remove the failing one.
HDD installation rules:
• Follow the order of the HDD drive bays when installing an HDD. See "Server components" on page 22 to
locate the HDD bays in your server.
• For RAID configuration, the HDDs must be the same type with the same capacity if they are within a single
RAID array. For more information, see "Configuring RAID" on page 45.
• For HDDs with different capacities, install the HDDs by following the order of the HDD bays as well as the
order from the lowest capacity to the highest capacity.
