The removable media area contains two bays that can house up to two media devices each. A 
media bay with no devices installed must be covered with a removable media blank. To 
remove an installed media device: 

1.  Prepare the server for a non-hot-plug procedure. Refer to “Preparing the Server for 

Non-Hot-Plug Procedures” in this chapter. 

2.  Remove the front bezel door (tower model only). Refer to “Removing the Front Bezel 

Door (Tower Model Only)” in this chapter. 

3.  Remove the access panel. Refer to “Removing the Access Panel” in this chapter. 

4.  Disconnect all cabling from the removable media device. 

5.  Slide the blue plastic locking lever on the outside of the removable media area to release 

the media device (1). 

6.  Pull the media device from the removable media area (2). 

 

 

  Always populate removable media bays with either a hard drive or blank. 

Proper airflow can only be maintained when the bays are populated. Unpopulated media 
bays can lead to improper cooling and thermal damage. 

 

Reverse steps 1 through 6 to replace a removable media device or to cover the opening with a 
removable media blank. 

 

  Removable media bay devices may not always sit flush with the server when correctly inserted.

 

  When replacing a removable media device with a new device, the bay-blank rails must be 

transferred onto the new device being installed.
