airflow.
Removing A Hard Drive/SSD
NOTE: Not all operating systems support hot-swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with
your operating system.
1. Take the hard drive/SSD offline and wait until the hard-drive/SSD indicator codes on the drive carrier signal that
the drive may be removed safely.
When all indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal.
See your operating system documentation for more information on taking the drive offline.
2. Open the hard-drive/SSD carrier handle to release the drive.
3. Slide the hard drive/SSD out until it is free of the drive bay.
If you are permanently removing the hard drive/SSD, install a drive blank.
