Note: You do not have to turn off the server to remove a hot-swap drive.
To remove a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 23.
2. Rotate the drive tray handle to the open position.
3. Grasp the handle; then, pull the drive out of the drive bay.
Note: A hard disk drive or filler panel must always be installed in each drive
bay when the server is turned on.
4. Store the drive for later use.
Note: If you install or remove a hard disk drive, see the documentation that
comes with your RAID adapter for information about reconfiguring the disk
arrays.
