Hot-Swap Drive Replacement; Remove A Hot-Swap Drive - Lenovo ThinkSystem SR665 V3 User Manual

Hot-swap drive replacement

Follow instructions in this section to remove and install a hot-swap drive. You can remove or install a hot-
swap drive without turning off the server, which helps you avoid significant interruption to the operation of
the system.
• "Remove a hot-swap drive" on page 77
• "Install a hot-swap drive" on page 78
Notes:
• The term "hot-swap drive" refers to all the supported types of hot-swap hard disk drives, hot-swap solid-
state drives, and hot-swap NVMe drives.
• Use any documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this topic. Ensure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the
documentation that comes with the drive.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive
bays covered or occupied. The vacant bays are either covered by an EMI-protective panel or occupied by
drive fillers. When installing a drive, save the removed drive filler in case that you later remove the drive
and need the drive filler to cover the place.
• To avoid damage to the drive connectors, ensure that the top cover is in place and fully closed whenever
you install or remove a drive.
