Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard drive carrier bays must have hard drive carrier blanks installed.

Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
