If a drive is frequently removed and installed in an interval shorter than 30 seconds,
there are risks that the drive cannot be identified.

Installing a Drive
Step 1 Wear an ESD wrist strap. For details, see
.
● You do not need to power off the server when installing a drive.
● After a faulty SAS/SATA drive is disconnected from its backplane, wait 30 seconds before
removing it. The alarm will not be cleared immediately after a new drive is installed. It
will be cleared after the RAID array rebuild is complete. Do not frequently hot-swap a
drive to prevent new alarms.
● When installing an ES3000 V5 NVMe SSD, do not pause during the installation process.
Otherwise, the system may fail to detect the ES3000 V5 SSD and may become
abnormal. If the SSD cannot be detected or system exceptions occur, power cycle the
server after the SSD is properly installed.
● If the ES3000 V5 NVMe SSD is not detected due to incorrect operations, remove the SSD
and insert the SSD again to resolve the problem.
Step 2 If the server is equipped with a front bezel, remove the bezel before installing a
front drive. For details, see
Step 3 Remove the drive filler.
Step 4 Take a spare drive out of its ESD bag.
Step 5 Open the ejector lever and push the drive in along the guide rails until it cannot
move forward. See (1) in
