without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
• Before you make changes to drives, drive controllers (including controllers integrated on the system
board), drive backplanes, or drive cables, back up all important data stored on drives.
• Before you remove any RAID array components, back up all RAID configuration information.
