About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 121 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 122 to ensure that
you work safely.
• Power off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables. See
“Power off the server” on page 14.
• If the server is installed in a rack, slide the server out on its rack slide rails to gain access to the top cover,
or remove the server from the rack. See “Remove the server from rack” on page 124.
• To make sure that there is adequate system cooling, do not operate the solution for more than two
minutes without either a drive or a filler installed in each bay.
• If one or more EDSFF drives are to be removed, it is recommended to disable them beforehand via the
operating system.
• Before you remove or make changes to drives, drive controllers (including controllers that are integrated
on the 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.
