Step 5. Replace or tighten (as appropriate) the screws that fasten the server to the rack.
Installing Disk Drives
The supported configuration of an hp Integrity cx2600 Server includes 1, 2 or 3 Low-Voltage-Differential
(LVD), hot-plug disk drives. If any of the three disk drives are not installed a disk filler must be installed in
the disk location.
Hot-plug disk drives are located at the front of the server. The following sections describe removing and
reinstalling a disk drive.
CAUTION A hot-plug device may require interaction with the operating system before the device can be
safely removed from or installed into the server. Determine if the operating system supports
replacement of disk drives while the operating system is running. If the operating system does
not support this feature, shut down the operating system before performing these procedures.
Failure to observe this caution could result in system failure.

Removing Hot-Plug Disk Drives
Slots are provided for up to three hot-plug disk drives in your hp Integrity cx2600 Server. When disk drives
are not installed, filler assemblies are installed to prevent air leakage and ensure adequate cooling.
NOTE The filler assemblies are removed and installed in the same manner as described for hard
drives. Simply pull the dummy release lever to pull the filler from the server.
When inserting a filler, simply push the filler into position.
