Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D,
or 9109-RMD system or expansion unit
1. If the slot you want to use contains a disk drive filler, remove the disk drive filler from the slot. For
instructions, see "Removing a disk drive filler from the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD" on page
75.
2. If the drive you are installing does not have a bezel preinstalled, then complete the tasks to install a
bezel on the drive, then continue with this procedure from step 4. For instructions to install a bezel,
see "Installing a disk drive bezel in a disk drive or filler" on page 80.

way out, the disk drive or solid-state drive does not slide into the system or an expansion unit.
5. Hold the disk drive or solid-state drive by the top and bottom edges as you position the drive, and
insert it into the system or the expansion unit. Do not hold the disk drive or solid-state drive by the
handle.
6. Slide the disk drive or solid-state drive all the way into the system or an expansion unit, and push
the drive handle (A) in until it locks, as shown in Figure 43.
Note: It is important to ensure that when installing a drive, that the drive is fully seated and all the
way into the system.
