that you later remove the device.
To install a simple-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps:

2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and
all external cables.
3. Remove the filler panel from the empty drive bay.
4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted
metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the package and place
it on a static-protective surface.

a. Grasp the black drive handle and slide the blue release latch to the right
and align the drive assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
