Doing so can cause a drive to fail. When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to complete. High-capacity hard drives can take a number of hours to format. Removing a Drive Blank CAUTION: To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive bays must have drive blanks installed. 1 If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 27. 2 Press the release tab and slide the drive blank out until it is free of the drive bay.
