About this task
The following illustrates how to install the 2.5-inch rear drive assembly.
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 27 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.

surface on the outside of the server. Then, take the hot-swap rear drive cage out of the package
