How to Install a Hard Drive Filler

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

Caution

Caution - Airflow and temperature control–related issues. Do not leave a hard drive slot unoccupied. Hard drive slots must contain either a drive or an 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 is not a hard drive carrier.

An animation of the procedure to install a hard drive filler is available. See animation showing hard drive installation.

  1. Prepare the server for service. See How to Prepare for Service.
  2. If necessary, remove the HD occupying the slot.
  3. To extend the HD filler 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.

  4. To install the HD filler, slide it into the vacant slot until it is flush with the front of the server.

  5. Close the spring-loaded handle.
