CAUTION: Always power down the server if the boot partition resides on the drive you are replacing or if
you are replacing the only drive in the server.

hard drive" on page 47).

To replace the drive, slide the drive into the bay until the latch mechanism engages the server chassis,
then close the latch handle to lock the drive in the server chassis.
