Removing and Replacing Components

Removing the Hard Disk Drive

Replacing a Hard Drive
To replace a hard drive, follow these steps
1. If the server is powered on and the OS is running, prepare the OS to have the disk drive
removed. See your OS documentation for instructions on preparing the OS for removing and
inserting hard drives.
2. Insert the hard disk drive into the drive bay from which you removed the drive and push
inward on the release lever until the drive no longer slides forward. You must leave the
release lever in the open position, as shown, when you push the drive into the server.
3. Push in on the release lever to secure the drive in the bay and to ensure that the drive
connector is seated properly.
4. Reset the server to the EFI Boot Maintenance Menu to rescan the hard drives.
5. If desired, lock the hard drive in place. Replace the server covers if they were removed to
unlock drives.
6. Use the EFI shell

Removing and Replacing Internal Components

To upgrade, remove, or replace most server components, you must first remove the covers from
the server chassis.
WARNING: Do not remove the server covers without first powering off the server and unplugging the
power cord unless you are only replacing a hot-swappable system fan. Always replace the covers before
powering the server on.

Airflow Guides

The server has the following airflow guides:
■
The processor airflow guide provides the proper volume of air-flow for cooling the
processors and voltage regulator modules (VRMs).
You must remove the processor airflow guide for the following reasons:
❏
if it is damaged to the point that airflow across the processors is restricted
❏
to access to components under the airflow guide
■
The memory airflow guide ensures that the proper volume of air flows over the memory
cards to cool them.
