Hard disk drive replacement

Use the following procedures to remove and install hard disk drives and hard disk drive fillers. Hard disk
drives are at the front of the server.
Remove a hard disk drive
Open the latch handle and pull the drive to remove it from the drive bay. Hard disk drives are hot-swap
devices that can be removed while the server is powered on.

Before you remove a hard disk drive:
1. Make sure you save the data on your drive, especially if it is part of a RAID array, before you remove it
from the server.
• Before you make changes to disk drives, disk drive controllers, disk drive backplanes, or disk drive
cables, back up all important data that is stored on hard disks.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration information.
2. If one or more NVMe solid-state drives are to be removed, make sure that the drive is shut down via the
operating system (see the documentation for your operating system for information and instructions).
The drive activity (green) LED is on solid for an NVMe drive that is shut down. See the labels above the
drive bays to determine the type of the drive to remove. If the drive bay numbers come with the term
"NVMe," it indicates the installed drives are NVMe solid-state drives.
Attention: 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.
