Removing and Replacing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler

Disk drive fillers are installed for all slots that do not contain a disk drive.

IMPORTANT: For cooling purposes, always leave disk drive fillers in slots that do not contain a disk drive.

Removing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler

To remove a hot-swappable disk drive filler, follow these steps:

1.Squeeze the tabs on the front of the filler to release it from the slot in the drive bay.

2.Pull gently until the filler slides out of the chassis.

Replacing a Hot-Swappable Disk Drive Filler

To replace a hot-swappable disk drive filler, follow these steps:

1.Orient the disk drive filler so that the release tab is on the left side of the filler, and the airflow holes are on the right side of the filler.

2.Insert the filler into the slot guides, and slide the filler into the slot until it clicks into place and is fully seated.

Removing and Replacing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive

There are eight hot-pluggable disk drives located in the front of the server. You can replace the hot-pluggable disk drives using the procedures in this section when server power is on or off.

CAUTION: A hot-pluggable device may require interaction with the operating system before you can safely remove it from or install it into the server. Verify that the operating system supports removing and replacing disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating system does not support this feature, shut down the operating system before removing or installing disk drive. Failure to observe this caution can result in system failure.

NOTE: The replacement disk drive must have the same product number as the disk drive that you replace.

Removing a Hot-Pluggable Disk Drive

To remove a hot-pluggable disk drive, follow these steps:

1.Push the release tab away from the drive extraction handle and pull the extraction handle outward.
