Dell E04J Series, E04J001 Hard Drives, Safety Models AMT, E03J, and E04J, Removing a Drive Blank

Hard Drives

SAFETY: Models AMT, E03J, and E04J

Models AMT, E03J, and E04J are intended for installation only in restricted access locations as defined in cl 1.2.7.3 of IEC 60950-1:2005.

Depending on your configuration, your enclosure either supports up to 24

2.5-inch SAS hard drives or up to 12 3.5-inch SAS hard drives in internal drive bays. Hard drives are connected to a backplane through hard-drive carriers and can be configured as hot-swappable.

CAUTION: Do not turn off or reboot your enclosure while the drive is being formatted. Doing so can cause a drive to fail.

When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to complete. High-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format.

Removing a Drive Blank

CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed.

1If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 27.

2Press the release tab and slide the drive blank out until it is free of the drive bay. See Figure 3-2 for PowerVault MD1200 and Figure 3-3 for PowerVault MD1220.
