Consider your next steps:
■
If you are replacing the drive, continue to “Install a Storage Drive” on page 70.
■
If you are not replacing the drive, install a filler panel in the empty drive slot to maintain
proper airflow and perform administrative tasks to configure the server to operate without
the drive.

Panels” on page 209.
