If the drive is online, the green activity or fault indicator flashes while the drive is turning off. When the drive indicators are off, the
drive is ready for removal. For more information, see the documentation for the storage controller.

CAUTION:

Before attempting to remove or install a 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 drive removal and
insertion.

CAUTION:

Mixing drives from previous generations of PowerEdge servers is not supported.

CAUTION:

To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports drive installation. See the

documentation supplied with your operating system.

Steps

1. Press the release button to open the drive carrier release handle.
2. Holding the handle, slide the drive carrier out of the drive slot.

Figure 26. Removing a drive carrier

Next steps

1. Follow the procedure listed in

After working inside your system

2.

Install a drive carrier

3. If you are not replacing the drive immediately, insert a drive blank in the empty drive slot to maintain proper system cooling.

Installing a drive carrier

Prerequisites

CAUTION:

Before attempting to remove or install a 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 drive removal and insertion.

CAUTION:

Mixing drives from previous generations of PowerEdge servers is not supported.

CAUTION:

Combining SAS and SATA drives in the same RAID volume is not supported.

CAUTION:

When installing a drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a drive carrier and

attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring
and make it unusable.
