You can install or remove a hot-swap SSD without turning off the server, which helps you avoid significant
interruption to the operation of the system.
• "Removing a 2.5-inch SSD from a 3.5-inch HDD bay" on page 68
• "Installing a 2.5-inch SSD into a 3.5-inch HDD bay" on page 69
The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed HDDs or SSDs in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant bays
are occupied by dummy trays. When you install a hot-swap HDD or SSD, save the removed dummy tray from
the drive bay in case you later remove the hot-swap HDD or SSD and need the dummy tray to cover the
place.
Attention: An unoccupied drive bay without any other protection might impact the EMI integrity and cooling
of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage. To maintain the EMI integrity and
cooling of the server, install a new hot-swap HDD or SSD as soon as you remove the failing one or the
dummy tray.
Before you begin, review the following SSD installation rules:
• Follow the order of the HDD bays when installing an SSD. See "Front view of the server" on page 13 to
locate the HDD bays in your server.
