Hot-Swap Drive Bay
Removing the Hot-Swap Drive Bay
To remove the hot-swap drive bay:
1. Turn off power to the server and unplug the AC power cords from the power source.
2. Remove the bezel, the front access cover, and the rear access cover (pages 28, 29, and 30).
3. Remove all of the hot-swap drives (page 52).
4. Remove any devices in the media bay (page 70).
5. Disconnect the cables from the back of the drive bay.
6. While exerting forward pressure on the bay lip, use a flat-head screwdriver to unlock the right
hand black tab by pushing it toward the center of the bay. Maintaining forward pressure on the
bay helps keep the tab from returning to its locked position.
7. Repeat step 6 for the left hand locking tab.
8. With both tabs unlocked, pull the drive bay out of the chassis.
