CAUTION:CAUTION:
When a server is purchased without any drive installed, some drive bays might be empty while other drive bays might
be populated with drive blanks. To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server without a drive or a drive
blank installed.
If only one drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.
For drive numbering, see Drive bay numbering.
This server does not support mixed drive types in the same drive box.
All drives grouped into the same drive array must meet the following criteria:
All drives must be either all hard drives or all solid-state drives.
All drives must be of the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped into the same drive
array.

About this taskAbout this task
CAUTION: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: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: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.
