Removing or Installing a Hard-Drive Blank

Installing a Hard-Drive Blank

Align the hard-drive blank with the drive bay and insert the blank into the
drive bay until the release lever clicks into place. See Figure 3-5.

Removing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive

1 If applicable, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on

page 63.

2 Using the RAID management software, prepare the drive for removal. Wait

until the hard-drive indicators on the drive carrier signal that the drive can
be removed safely. See "Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns" on page 14.

If the drive has been online, the green activity/fault indicator flashes as
the drive is powered down. When the drive indicators are off, the drive is
ready for removal.

3 Press the release button and open the drive carrier release handle to

release the drive. See Figure 3-6.

4 Slide the hard drive out of the drive bay.
5 Insert a drive blank in the vacated drive bay. See "Installing a Hard-Drive

Blank" on page 68.

CAUTION:

To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must

have hard-drive blanks installed.
