How to Remove a Hard Drive Filler

Use this procedure to remove a hard drive (HD) filler.

Caution

Caution - Air flow and temperature control–related issues . Do not leave a hard drive slot unoccupied. Hard drive slots must contain either a drive or a HD filler.

The HD filler is designed specifically to occupy empty drive slots for the purpose of maintaining server cooling. It does not contain electronics, and it is not a hard drive carrier.

  1. Prepare the server for service. See How to Prepare for Service.
  2. To unlock the spring-loaded handle, lift the locking latch.

    Caution

    Caution - Possible component damage. The handle does not extend to a 90-degree angle. Do not extend the handle beyond its limitation.

    Drive slots must contain either a hard drive (HD) or an HD filler.
