Removing and Installing Fixed Hard Drive(s)
Removing Fixed Hard Drive(s)
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.
3. Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Chassis Cover.”
4. If it is installed, remove the front bezel. For instructions, see “Removing and Installing the Front Bezel.”
5. Push the blue plastic release mechanism upward to release the fixed drive cage (see letter “A” in Figure
22).
6. Remove power and data cables from the hard drive connectors.
7. Pull the drive cage out about two inches (see letter “B”) so it is partially exposed from the drive bay slot in
the chassis. Partially exposing the drive cage makes it easier to open the upper door of the drive cage.

NOTE
As an alternative, you may also fully remove the drive cage from its drive bay slot in the chassis. Take
care, however, to position the drive cage horizontally before opening the drive cage doors or the drive
rails will spill out.
