Replacing SAS/SATA Drives
Tip
You do not have to shut down or power off the server to replace SAS/SATA hard drives or solid state
drives (SSDs) because they are hot-swappable. To replace an NVMe PCIe SSD drive, which must be shut
down before removal, see
Replacing NVMe PCIe Solid State Drives, page 3-19

Grasp and open the ejector lever and then pull the drive tray out of the slot.

tray and then lift the drive out of the tray.
Step 2
Install a new drive:
a.
Place a new drive in the empty drive tray and replace the four drive-tray screws.
