To install a drive in a hot-swap drive bay:
Attention:
• To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two
minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed for each bay.
• When you handle Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive devices (ESD), take
precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling
these devices, refer to the following Web site and use a search term of ESD:

1. Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your
finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away
from the server.
Note: If you are installing a half-high hard disk drive, you will need to remove
two adjacent filler panels. The two filler panels should be from either the
top pair of bays, the middle pair of bays, or the bottom pair of bays.
2. Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:
a. Ensure the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the rails on the drive assembly with the guide rails in the drive bay.
c. Gently push the drive assembly into the bay until the drive connects to the
backplane.
d. Push the tray handle toward the closed position until it locks the drive in
place.
