2 From the Modular Disk Storage Manager (MDSM) software, prepare the
drive for removal. Wait until the hard-drive indicators on the drive
carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely. For more information,
see your controller documentation for information about hot-swap drive
removal.
If the drive has been online, the green activity/fault indicator flashes as
the drive is powered down. When the drive indicators are off, the drive is
ready for removal.

Figure 16-4.

CAUTION:
To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must
have drive blanks installed.
5 Insert a drive blank in the empty drive bay. See "Installing a Drive Blank"
on page 200.
6 If applicable, replace the front bezel. See "Installing the Front Bezel" on
page 198.
