Replacing a Front-Loading SAS/SATA Drive
You do not have to shut down the server or drive to replace SAS/SATA hard drives or SSDs because they
are hot-swappable.
Note
Step 1 Remove the drive that you are replacing or remove a blank drive tray from the bay:
a) Press the release button on the face of the drive tray.
b) Grasp and open the ejector lever and then pull the drive tray out of the slot.
c) If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the four drive-tray screws that secure the drive to the tray and then lift
the drive out of the tray.
Step 2 Install a new drive:
a) Place a new drive in the empty drive tray and install the four drive-tray screws.
When you insert the drive tray in the slot, the LEDs on the drive tray must be on the upper side. The ejector
lever closes upward.
Note
b) With the ejector lever on the drive tray open, insert the drive tray into the empty drive bay.
c) Push the tray into the slot until it touches the backplane, and then close the ejector lever to lock the drive in place.
