If the drives are hot-pluggable, go to step 3.
If the drives are not hot-pluggable, go to step 4.

the access panel. Operating the server without the access panel results
in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
NOTE: If you require additional cables, order them by the option kit
number.
