Removing or installing internal drives

This section provides instructions on how to remove or install internal drives for the server.
See Specifications for information about the types of internal drives that the server supports and other
important information, and see Front view for the locations of the drive bays in the server.
When installing an internal drive, be sure to consider the following information:
• Make sure that you have all the cables and other equipment that is specified in the documentation that
comes with the drive.
• Select the drive bay in which you want to install the drive.
• Check the instructions that come with the drive to see whether you have to set any switches or jumpers
on the drive. If you are installing a SAS device, be sure to set the SAS ID for that device.
• The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all bays, PCI slots, and PCI Express
slots covered or occupied. When you install a drive, PCI card, or PCI Express card, save the EMC
shield and filler panel from the bay, PCI card slot, or PCI Express card slot in the event that you later
remove the device.
