Prerequisites
CAUTION: To maintain
proper system cooling, all empty drive bays must have drive
blanks installed.

that you back up your data, before removing a drive. For more
information about preparing your drive for removal and supported
RAID redundancy, see the Troubleshooting guide of your system at www.dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

software, prepare the drive for removal. If the drive is
online, the green activity or fault indicator flashes while the drive

is ready for removal. For more information, see the documentation
for the storage controller.
Follow the safety guidelines listed in Safety instructions.
