Find information about installing a disk drive or solid-state drive (SSD) filler in the system, drive
enclosure, or an expansion unit.
When you remove a disk drive or an SSD from a system, drive enclosure, or an expansion unit, you can
install a disk drive filler in the slot if you are not installing a replacement drive. To install a disk drive
filler, complete the following steps:
1. Hold the disk drive filler by the top and bottom edges as you position the filler, and insert it into the
system, drive enclosure, or the expansion unit.
Attention:
v Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to
an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging
your hardware.
v When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is
used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when
using or working on electrical equipment.
v If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and
installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of
5 seconds.
2. Align the disk drive filler with the drive slot and push the disk drive filler all the way into the system
(A) until it locks, as shown in Figure 102 on page 100 and Figure 103 on page 100.
