Installing or replacing a hot-swap hard disk drive

Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Safety information"
on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 87.

You can install a new hot-swap hard disk drive or replace a failing hot-swap hard disk drive without turning
off the server, which helps you avoid significant interruption to the operation of the system.
The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed hard disk drives in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant
bays are either covered by an EMI-protective panel or occupied by dummy hard-disk-drive trays. When you
install a hot-swap hard disk drive, save the removed dummy hard-disk-drive tray in case you later remove
the hot-swap hard disk drive and need the dummy tray to cover the place.
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 hot-swap hard disk drive as soon as you remove the failing one or
the dummy tray.
