Removal and replacement procedures 29
7.
Remove the hard drive cage fan.
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
Hot-plug SAS and SATA hard drives
Hot-plug SATA and hot-plug SAS hard drives can be used interchangeably when a SAS controller is
installed. The embedded SATA controller supports only SATA drives.
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.
To remove the component:
1. Determine the status of the hard drive from the hot-plug hard drive LEDs.
IMPORTANT: When hot-plug SATA hard drives are installed, SATA LED functionality and full SATA hot-
plug capability are not supported with the embedded controller. For full LED and hot-plug support, an
optional SATA RAID or SAS controller must be installed.
2. Unlock and open the bezel ("Unlock the tower bezel" on page 26).
