1. Assemble the necessary tools and materials:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat-bladed screwdriver (if your server uses slotted screws)
• Torx screwdriver (if your server uses torx screws)
• Your server manuals (for reference during installation)
2. Perform a normal system shutdown and turn off the server and any
connected peripherals.
3. Remove the cover and front panel from the server, as detailed in your
server's documentation.
As you work inside the server, you may have to disconnect other signal
cables or power cables from other devices to maneuver the new drive
into place. If you have to do this, make a note of their position and
connections so you can put them back correctly later.
