Removing a hot-swap hard disk drive

Use this information to remove a hot-swap hard disk drive.
Attention:
• To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the server top cover is in place and
fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive.
• To make sure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 2 minutes
without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
• Before you make changes to disk drives, disk drive controllers (including controllers that are integrated on
the system board), disk drive backplanes, or disk drive cables, back up all important data that is stored on
hard disks.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration information.
