Removing a Hard Disk Drive

To remove a hard disk drive from the disk bay, complete the following procedure:

2. Remove the plastic bezel on the front of the server.

3. Depress the drive carrier latch of the bad drive, and use the handle to pull the assembly toward

you to disengage the drive from the backplane connector.
