You can install or replace a storage drive in the front-access storage enclosure. The storage drive also can
be hot-swappable, which means that you can install or replace the drive without even turning off your
computer. Therefore, lock the enclosure cover to prevent the unexpected removal. The keys are attached at
the rear of the computer. Store the keys in a secure place.
The storage drive in the front-access storage enclosure is hot-swappable only when the following
requirements are met:

system board. To verify the cable connection, see “Preparing your computer and removing the computer
cover” on page 59 and “Parts on the system board” on page 8 for more information.
• The operating system of your computer does not reside on the storage drive installed in the front-access
storage enclosure.
Attention:
If any of the above requirements are not met, do not remove or install the storage drive when the
computer is turned on. Otherwise, data on the storage drive might get damaged.
