Hot-swap drive replacement
Use this information to remove and install a hot-swap drive. You can remove or install a hot-swap drive
without powering off the server, which helps you avoid significant interruption to the operation of the system.
Notes:
• The term “hot-swap drive” refers to all the supported types of hot-swap hard disk drives (HDDs) and hot-
swap solid-state drives (SSDs).
• Use any documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this topic. Ensure that you have all the cables and other equipment that are specified in the
documentation that comes with the drive.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive
bays covered or occupied. The vacant bays are either covered by an EMI-protective panel or occupied by
drive fillers. When installing a drive, save the removed drive filler in case that you later remove the drive
and need the drive filler to cover the place.
• To avoid damage to the drive connectors, ensure that the top cover is in place and fully closed whenever
you install or remove a drive.

Before removing a hot-swap drive:
1. Ensure that you have back up data on your drive, especially if it is part of a RAID array.

important data that is stored on the drives.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration information.
2. Remove the security bezel. See “Remove the security bezel” on page 53.
Attention:
To ensure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two
minutes without either a drive or a drive filler installed in each bay.
