Replacing a Hot Swappable Hard Drive
Requirements: Follow the safety guidelines listed in chapter “Safety Instructions” on
page 152 and chapter “Safety and regulatory information” on page 7.
If installed, remove the front plate.
Perform the following steps:
1. Press the release button to open the hard drive carrier release handle.
2. Slide the hard drive out of the hard drive slot.
If you are not replacing the hard drive immediately, insert a hard drive
blank in the empty hard drive slot.
Cooling Problems
To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard drive
slots must have hard drive blanks installed.
Install a hard drive blank if necessary.
Data Loss
Using not tested hard drives can result in loss of data.
Use only hard drives that have been tested and
approved for use with the hard drive backplane.
Damaged Carrier
Inserting a hard drive carrier and attempting to lock its
handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the
partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it unus-
able.
When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent
drives are fully installed.
