Installing and Removing a Hot-swap Hard Drive
When the system is configured with the mini control panel, up to eight hot-swap SAS or
SATA drives can be installed. When configured with the Standard control panel or Intel
®
Local Control Panel, up to six hot-swap SAS or SATA drives can be installed.
Cautions: If you install less than the supported number of drives or devices, empty drive bays must
be occupied by carriers with baffles or with a filler panel provided for drive locations 6
and 7 to maintain proper system cooling.
To avoid possible damage to your server system, do not use older style drive carriers.
Note: The server system does not support all hard drives. See “Additional Information and
Software” on page 3 for a web link to a list of supported hardware.
Installing a Hot-swap SAS/SATA Hard Disk Drive
To install a hot-swap SAS/SATA hard disk drive, follow these steps:
1. Press in on the green latch (at the front of the hard drive carrier) to release the
carrier (see letter "A" in Figure 44).
Note: If the filler panel is installed in drive locations 6 and 7, remove it to install drives in that
location.
2. Pull out on the black lever and slide the carrier out from the server system (see
letter "B" in Figure 44).

3. Remove the four screws securing the plastic retention device to the carrier (see
letter “A” in Figure 45) and remove the retention device (see letter “B” in
Figure 45). Store the retention device for future use.
