Installing a hot-plug LFF/SFF SAS, SATA or NVMe drive
Installing a hot-plug LFF/SFF SAS, SATA or NVMe drive
About this task
CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for long period with the access
panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner results in an improper system airflow. For
internal hot-plug component procedures, complete the procedure within 60 seconds. Failure to do so
can cause the system temperature to increase and trip the safety threshold. When this happens:
• The health LED flashes amber.
• The operating system gracefully shuts down.
CAUTION: A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor might damage system
boards or other static-sensitive devices. To prevent damage, observe antistatic precautions.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless all bays
are populated with either a component or a blank.
Procedure
