Removing A Hard Drive/SSD
NOTE: Not all operating systems support hot-swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with
your operating system.

the drive may be removed safely.
When all indicators are off, the drive is ready for removal.
See your operating system documentation for more information on taking the drive offline.
