Removal and replacement procedures 35

Remove the hard drive.
To replace the component, reverse the removal procedure.
IMPORTANT: When installing a x3/x1 SAS cable in a SFF system, HP recommends that the x3
part of the x3/x1 cable be linked to the SAS hard drive backplane connector that corresponds
to hard drive slots 1 to 4. In this setup, hard drive slot 1 will not be available, but since hard
drive slots 2 to 4 will be connected, one continuous volume can be created. All drive slots will
be available in LFF systems.
