Whenyou install a drive or a PCI Express adapter, save the EMC shield and fillerpanel from the bay or PCI Express adapter slot cover in the event that you laterremove the device.v For a complete list of supported optional devices for the server, seehttp://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.To install a hot-swap SAS or SATA hard disk drive, complete the following steps:LatchHandle3.5-inch hot-swaphard disk driveFigure 78. 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives removalChapter 5.
