You must turn off the server before removing simple-swap drives from the server. To remove a simple-swap
SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Attention:
• To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the server 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.
Read the safety information in "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 31.
If you are replacing a server component in the server, you need to slide the server out from the rack
enclosure, turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables.
Step 1. Remove the drive bay filler panel from the server.
Step 2. Slide the blue release latch to the right with one finger (to release the drive) while using another
finger to grasp the black drive handle and pull the hard disk drive out of the drive bay.
