• The drive bays are numbered to indicate the installation order (starting from number “0”). Follow the
installation order when you install a drive. See “Front view” on page 15.
• The drives in a single RAID array must be the same type, same size, and same capacity.

2. If the drive bay has a drive filler installed, remove it. Keep the drive filler in a safe place for future use.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new hot-swap drive to any unpainted surface on
the outside of the server. Then, take the new hot-swap drive out of the package and place it on a static-
protective surface.
To install a hot-swap drive, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Ensure that the tray handle is in the open position. Slide the drive into the drive bay until it snaps
into position.
Step 2. Close the tray handle to lock the drive in place.
