Hot-plug SATA and hot-plug SAS hard drives can be used interchangeably when a SAS controller is
installed. Before installing a SAS hard drive, you must install a SAS controller (" SAS controller " on page
42 ). A SATA controller is embedded for use with SATA drives only.
CAUTION: To prevent improper cooling and thermal damage, do not operate the server unless
all bays are populated with either a component or a blank.
To install the component:
1. Remove the bezel (on page 18 ).
2. Remove the hard drive blank.
3. Open the release latch to prepare the drive for installation.
