The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed hard disk drives in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant
bays are covered by an EMI-protective panel.
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 non-hot-swap hard disk drive as soon as you remove the failing one.
