1. If the server is operating, log off all users, back up files, and power down the server.
2. Disconnect the power cord and any external cables connected to the server. If necessary, label each one
to expedite re-assembly.
WARNING The power supply will continue to provide standby current to the HP Server until the
power cord is disconnected.
3. Using both hands, grasp the ejector arms of the drive to be removed and press inward while pulling the
drive out towards you.

5. Place the drive in an electrostatic protected container.

Server without filler panels in empty SCSI drive slots may cause the HP Server to suffer
thermal damage.
