Use this procedure to install a hard drive (HD) filler.
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.
Caution - Possible component damage. The handle does not extend to a 90–degree angle. Do not extend the handle beyond its limitation. |
