2. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with the
bezel pointing toward you.
The compute node has four drive bays for installing hot-swap drives. One drive might already be installed in
the compute node. If the compute node is equipped with one drive, you can install up to three additional
drives.
See
“RAID configuration” on page 78 RAID configuration for instructions.
To install a 2.5-inch hot-swap drive, complete the following steps:

Step 1. Identify the drive bay in which you plan to install the hot-swap drive.
Step 2. If a drive bay filler is installed, pinch the grip point and pull it away from the compute node.
Step 3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the hot-swap drive or solid-state drive to any
unpainted metal surface on the Flex System chassis or any unpainted metal surface on any other
grounded rack component; then, remove the drive from the package.
Step 4. Open the release handle on the drives into the bay until the release handle catches on the bezel,
then rotate the handle to fully seat the drive.
