About this task
Attention:
• Read “Installation Guidelines” on page 121 and “Safety inspection checklist” on page 122 to ensure that
you work safely.
• 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 NVMe solid-state 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.
Note: Make sure you have the drive bay fillers available if some drive bays will be left empty after the
removal.
