Always populate drive bays from the rear to the front starting with the highest device bay ID number. All unpopulated drive bays require drive blanks to properly distribute air flow and cool the installed drives. 2. Install the drive. Determine the status of the drive from the drive LED definitions ("Drive display LEDs" on page 65). Drive backplane To remove the component: 1.
