Installing and removing server components

Hard drive

For more information on hard drives, see the 512e and 4Kn Disk Formats whitepaper and 4K Sector 

HDD FAQ document at 

Dell.com/dssmanuals

.

All hard drives are connected to the server board through the hard drive backplane. Hard drives are 

supplied in hot swappable hard drive carriers that fit in the hard drive slots.

 

CAUTION: 

Before attempting to remove or install a hard drive while the system is running, see the 

documentation for the storage controller card to ensure that the host adapter is configured correctly to support 
hot swappable hard drive removal and insertion.

 

CAUTION: 

Do not turn off or restart your system while the hard drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a 

hard drive failure.

Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the hard drive backplane.
When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be complete. Be aware that high-

capacity hard drives can take a long time to format.
