Hot-Swapping a Hard Drive
The server supports eight hot swap drive carriers for the Enterprise SKU and six carriers for the Value SKU.
Each carrier holds a standard 2.5-inch SATA or SAS hard drive.
The procedures in this section describe how to determine drive status, remove a faulty drive, and install a new
drive. If a drive is in a redundant configuration, you can install or replace a hot swap hard drive without powering
down the server.
Caution To ensure proper airflow and server cooling, all drive bays must contain either a carrier with a hard
drive installed in it or a carrier with a HDD blank installed.
The drive carriers contain light-pipes that allow LED indicators to display the hard drive status.
