Installing or replacing a hot-swap internal storage drive

Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding "Read this first: safety
information" on page iii and "Guidelines" on page 69.
This topic applies only to server models that have hot-swap storage drives installed, such as hard disk
drives or solid-state drives. See "Features" on page 7 for more information about the supported hot-swap
storage drives.

You can install or replace a hot-swap storage 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 storage-drive bays covered or
occupied. The number of the installed storage drives in your server varies depending on the server model.
The vacant bays are either covered by metal protective shields or occupied by dummy storage-drive trays.
