Removal and replacement procedures 26
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the front drive cages extended. When
the front drive cage is extended while the server is powered on, do one of the following:
If the front drive health/thermal LED is functional, monitor the status of this LED.
When this LED starts flashing amber, immediately slide the drive cage back into
the chassis and keep it there until the LED turns green.
If the front drive health/thermal LED is not functional, do not keep the drive cage
out of the chassis for more than 140 sec. After 140 sec, slide the drive cage inside

Failure to observe this caution will result in improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead
