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 69.

drive carrier signal that the drive can be removed safely. See "Back-Panel
Features and Indicators" on page 15.
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

To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
