Hot-swap drive replacement
Use this information to remove and install a hot-swap drive. You can remove or install a hot-swap drive
without turning off the server, which helps you avoid significant interruption to the operation of the system.
Notes:
• The term “hot-swap drive” refers to all the supported types of hot-swap hard disk drives, hot-swap solid-
state drives, and hot-swap NVMe drives.
• Use any documentation that comes with the drive and follow those instructions in addition to the
instructions in this topic.
• The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive
bays covered or occupied. The vacant bays are either covered by an EMI-protective panel or occupied by
drive fillers. When installing a drive, save the removed drive filler in case that you later remove the drive
and need the drive filler to cover the place.
• To avoid damage to the drive connectors, ensure that the top cover is in place and fully closed whenever
you install or remove a drive.
