Removing An I/O Expansion Adapter - Lenovo Flex System x480 X6 Compute Node Installation And Service Manual

Step 1. Identify the hard disk drive bay (hard disk drive bay 0 or hard disk drive bay 1) in which you plan to
install the hot-swap hard disk drive.
Step 2. If a hard disk drive bay filler is installed, remove it from the compute node by pressing together the
release latches and sliding the filler away from the compute node.
Step 3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hot-swap hard disk drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the Lenovo Flex System chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component; then, remove the hard disk drive from the package.
Step 4. Open the release lever on the hot-swap hard disk drive and slide the drive into the bay until it is
firmly seated in the connector.
Step 5. Lock the hot-swap hard disk drive into place by closing the release lever.
Step 6. Check the hard disk drive status LEDs to make sure that the hard disk drive is operating correctly.
