Disk Expansion Tray Drives Population Guidelines
The optional disk expansion tray can hold up to four 3.5-inch hard drives,. Drive numbering is shown in
Figure 3-10. When populating these drives, follow these guidelines.
• Populate drives starting from the lowest-numbered bay to the highest.

Identifying a Faulty Disk Expansion Tray Drive
Each drive has a fault LED that lights solid amber to indicate a failing drive.
Replacing Drive Expander Module Drives
Note SAS/SATA drives are hot-swappable and can be replaced without removing power from the system.
Step 1 Identify a failing drive as described in Identifying a Faulty Disk Expansion Tray Drive, page 3-21.
Step 2 Remove the faulty drive:
a. Press the release button on the drive carrier. The drive lever pops up.
b. Lift the drive lever to the fully open position, then pull the drive straight up out of its bay.
Spare drives are already installed in a carrier, so it is not necessary to remove the old drive from its
carrier.
