About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 121 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 122 to ensure that
you work safely.
• Touch the static-protective package that contains the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the
solution; then, remove the drive from the package and place it on a static-protective surface.
• Make sure you save the data on your drive, especially if it is part of a RAID array, before you remove it
from the server.
• To avoid damage to the drive connectors, make sure that the server top cover is in place and fully closed
whenever you install or remove a drive.
• To make sure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the server for more than two minutes

system board), drive backplanes, or drive cables, back up all important data that is stored on drives.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array (drive, RAID card, etc.), back up all RAID configuration
information.
The following notes describe the type of drives that the server supports and other information that you must
