Removing a simple-swap hard disk drive Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the server for more than 10 minutes without either a drive or a filler panel installed in each bay. To remove a hard disk drive from a simple-swap bay, complete the following steps. 1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii, "Installation guidelines" on page 37, and "Handling static-sensitive devices" on page 39. 2. Remove the drive filler panel. 3. Push drive into the bay until it latches into place. 4. Replace the drive filler panel. Installing a SAS/SATA 4 Pac HDD upgrade option If the server is a 16-drive-capable model with four hard disk drive bays installed, you can install an IBM System x3650 M3 Hot-swap SAS/SATA 4 Pac HDD upgrade option.
