You must remove the front bezel to access the disk drawers, which enables you to remove and install physical disks in
the system.

Service Action Allowed Status LED
Each hot-swappable component on your storage enclosure has a service action allowed indicator. The service action
allowed indicator, indicates that a component can be safely removed from the storage enclosure.
CAUTION: Never remove any hot-swappable component until the service action allowed on the component lights
blue. Removing a hot-swappable component with the service action allowed indicator off, can result in a loss of
data and data availability.
Physical-Disk Drawers
Each storage array contains five physical-disk drawers. Each physical-disk drawer supports up to 12 hot-swappable
physical disks. You can open only one physical-disk drawer at a time.
