Drive Replacement

Each blade has up to four front-accessible, hot plug capable, 2.5-inch SAS or SATA drive bays. Unused hard drive bays should
always be covered with cover plates to ensure proper cooling and ventilation.
You can remove and install hard drives without removing the blade server from the chassis.
The drives supported in this blade server come with the drive sled attached. Spare drive sleds are not available. A list of currently
supported drives is in the specification sheets at this

Before upgrading or adding a drive to a running blade server, check the service profile in Cisco UCS Manager and make sure the
new hardware configuration will be within the parameters allowed by the service profile.
To prevent ESD damage, wear grounding wrist straps during these procedures.
