Hot-swap drives and drive bays
The drive bays on the front and rear of your server are designed for hot-swap drives. The number of the
installed drives in your server varies by model. When you install drives, follow the order of the drive bay
numbers.
The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays occupied. Vacant drive
bays must be occupied by drive fillers.
Rack latches
If your server is installed in a rack, you can use the rack latches to help you slide the server out of the rack.
You also can use the rack latches and screws to secure the server in the rack so that the server cannot slide
out, especially in vibration-prone areas. For more information, refer to the Rack Installation Guide that comes
with your rail kit.
USB 2.0/3.0 connectors
The USB 2.0/3.0 connectors can be used to attach a USB-compatible device, such as a USB keyboard, USB
mouse, or USB storage device.
VGA connector
The VGA connectors on the front and rear of the server can be used to attach a high-performance monitor, a
direct-drive monitor, or other devices that use a VGA connector.
