Removing a Hard Drive
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with
the product.
1 If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on
page 27.
2 From the 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. For more information, see your controller documentation
for information about hot-swap drive removal.
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.

Figure 3-4.
