To remove and install a hot-swap hard drive:
1
Unlock the bezel (if necessary) and remove it by pulling it from the chassis.
2
Pull the drive release lever out. The drive release lever opens.
3
Pull the drive carrier straight out of the server.
4
If you are replacing a hard drive, remove the four screws that secure the old hard drive
to the drive tray, then remove the drive from the tray. If you are installing a new drive,
remove the dummy hard drive from the drive tray.
5
Using the four screws you removed, install the new hard drive into the drive tray.
6
Make sure that the tray’s release lever is open, then slide the new drive fully into the empty
hot-swap drive bay.
7
Push the lever back into place to secure the hard drive in the bay.
8
Reinstall the bezel, if required, by snapping it into place on the front of the chassis.
Caution
Before you remove a failed drive, use the appropriate software and utilities
installed on the server to stop all activity on the failed drive. Instructions for using
the software are provided by the software manufacturer. Failure to do so may
destroy the data on the drive.
