Removing a hot-swap hard disk drive
The 3.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support either two SAS 3.5-inch hard disk drives or two SATA
3.5-inch hard disk drives. The 2.5-inch drive hot-swap server models support four 2.5-inch SAS hard
disk drives.
The removal and installation procedures are the same for any of these drives. The illustrations in this
procedure show 3.5-inch SAS drives.
To remove a hot-swap hard disk drive, complete the following steps.
Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the server cover is in place
and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive.
1. Move the handle 1 on the drive to the open position (perpendicular to the drive).
2. Slide the release latch (gray on 3.5-inch hard drives and orange on 2.5-inch hard drives) gently to the
left to unlock the drive handle.
