Removing a hot-plug SAS or SATA drive
CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles,
expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components,
minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.
1. Determine the status of the drive from the hot-plug SAS drive LED combinations.
2. Back up all server data on the drive.
3. Remove the drive.
Installing the NVMe drives
NVMe drives are supported on this server when the 10SFF (6 NVMe + 4 SAS/SATA) Express Bay
Enablement Option and/or the 2SFF Express Bay Drive Cage is installed. For more information on which
bays support NVMe drives, see "Device numbers (on page 17)."
To install the drives:
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server or
the enclosure unless all drive and device bays are populated with either a component or a
blank.
1. Remove the drive blank, if installed.
2. Press the Do Not Remove button to open the release handle.
