Removing and Replacing a Hard Disk Drive
This section explains how to remove and replace hard disk drives in/from your tower or
rack-mounted system. Please keep in mind that this system’s hard disk drives are
hot-swappable, therefore, you do not need to turn off the system to remove or replace
them.
Removing a Hard Disk Drive
To remove a hard disk drive from a tower or rack system, follow these steps:
1. Unlock the hard disk drives if you have locked them. To do this, you need to remove
the system’s access panel(s) (refer to page 37 or page 41 for instructions). Next, press
down on the Unlock lever. See Figure 2-34.
CAUTION If you try to remove a hard disk drive without unlocking it from the system, you will
damage the hard disk drive’s bay area.

2. Place your finger on the colored release clip, which is located on your hard drive’s
release lever, and squeeze it inward. See Figure 2-35. Note that the release clips on
the blank hard disk drive mounting brackets cannot be squeezed inward.
