The EMI integrity and cooling of the server are protected by having all drive bays covered or occupied. The
number of the installed drives in your server varies depending on the server model. The vacant bays are
occupied by dummy trays. When you install a drive, save the removed dummy tray from the drive bay in case
you later remove the drive and need the dummy tray to cover the place.
Attention: An unoccupied drive bay without any other protection might impact the EMI integrity and cooling
of the server, which might result in overheating or component damage. To maintain the EMI integrity and
cooling of the server, install a new drive as soon as you remove the failing one or the dummy tray.
Before you begin, review the following drive installation rules:
• Follow the order of the drive bays. See Chapter 2 “Server components” on page 15 to locate the drive
bays in your server.
• For SSDs with different capacities, install the drive by following the order of the drive bays as well as the
order from the lowest capacity to the highest capacity.

About this task
S002
CAUTION:
The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the
electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To
remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the
power source.
Attention:
• Read “Installation guidelines” on page 57 to ensure that you work safely.
• Power off the server and disconnect all power cords for this task.
• Prevent exposure to static electricity, which might lead to system halt and loss of data, by keeping static-
sensitive components in their static-protective packages until installation, and handling these devices with
an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system.
Before removing a simple-swap drive:
• Ensure that you have back up data on your drive, especially if it is part of a RAID array.
• Before you make changes to drives, RAID adapters, drive backplates, or drive cables, back up all
important data that is stored on the drives.
• Before you remove any component of a RAID array, back up all RAID configuration information.
