• To make sure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two minutes
without either a drive or a filler installed in each bay.

via the operating system.
• Before removing or making changes to drives, drive controllers (including controllers that are integrated
on the system board), drive backplanes or drive cables, make sure to back up all important data that is
stored on drives.
