If the removed drive has a bezel attached to it, you can remove the disk drive bezel. For instructions,
see “Removing a disk drive bezel from a disk drive or filler” on page 79.
Important: If the disk drive bezel does not have a thumbscrew, then the bezel is not removable and
the drive is a SAS disk drive. The replacement SAS disk drive comes with a preinstalled bezel.
If you are installing a replacement drive as a replacement for the failed disk drive or solid-state drive, go
to “Replacing a disk drive or solid-state drive in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD with the system
or logical partition power turned off” on page 70.
If you are not installing a replacement drive, install a filler in the empty slot to ensure proper air flow for
cooling. For instructions, see “Installing a disk drive filler in the 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD” on
page 76.
