1. Press the ejector release button on the drive panel to release the ejector lever. See (1) in
Figure 3-22.
2. Open the drive ejector lever completely. See (2) in Figure 3-22.

for at least 30 seconds and remove the drive from the server. See (3) in Figure 3-22.

in an interval shorter than 30 seconds, there are risks that the drive cannot be identified.

3.14 Installing a SAS/SATA Drive
l The SATA or SAS drives support hot swap. After a faulty drive is disconnected from its
backplane, wait 30 seconds before removing it. The alarm will not be cleared immediately
after a new drive is installed. It will be cleared after the RAID array rebuild is complete.
Do not frequently hot-swap a drive to prevent new alarms.
l To prevent damage caused by insufficient heat dissipation and high temperature, install
components or filler panels.
