The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed drives in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant bays are
either covered by an EMI-protective panel or occupied by dummy trays. When installing a drive, save the
removed dummy tray in case that you later remove the drive and need the dummy tray to cover the place.
Attention: An unoccupied drive bay without any other protection might impact the EMI integrity and cooling
of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage. To maintain the EMI integrity and
cooling of the server, install a new drive as soon as you remove the failing one or the dummy tray.
Hot-swap drive installation rules
• When you install drives, follow the order of the drive bay numbers. See “Front view of the server” on
page 13 to locate the drive bays in your server.
• For RAID configuration, the drives must be the same type with the same capacity if they are within a single
RAID array. For more information, see “Configuring RAID” on page 44.
Removing a hot-swap drive
To remove a hot-swap drive, do the following:
1. Use the front door key to unlock the front door (available on some models), and then open the front door.
2. Locate the drive you want to remove and press the release button 1 to open the handle of the drive.
