terminate the current operation and cause data loss.
The drive is part of an array that is undergoing
capacity expansion or stripe migration, but a
predictive failure alert has been received for this
drive. To minimize the risk of data loss, do not
remove the drive until the expansion or migration is
complete.

5 Do not remove button Press to open the release lever.
1 The blue locate LED is behind the release lever and is visible when illuminated.
Drive Numbering
The following images show the drive numbering for each of the supported drive configurations. For drive box
numbering information, see Front panel components on page 7.
With optional drive cages installed, the server supports up to 8 LFF non-hot-plug drives, 8 LFF hot-plug
drives, or 16 SFF hot-plug drives. If only one drive cage is installed, it must be installed in box 1. The server
does not support mixing SFF and LFF drives.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you populate drive bays starting with the lowest drive number.
Drives are numbered from left to right in each component box.
• Four-bay LFF non-hot-plug drive model
Drive Numbering 17

• Four-bay LFF hot-plug drive model
• Eight-bay SFF hot-plug drive model

Operations
Power up the server
To power up the server, press the Power On/Standby button.
Power down the server
Before powering down the server for any upgrade or maintenance procedures, perform a backup of critical
server data and programs.
IMPORTANT:
When the server is in standby mode, auxiliary power is still being provided to the system.
To power down the server, use one of the following methods:
• Press and release the Power On/Standby button.
This method initiates a controlled shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters standby
mode.
• Press and hold the Power On/Standby button for more than 4 seconds to force the server to enter standby
mode.
This method forces the server to enter standby mode without properly exiting applications and the OS. If
an application stops responding, you can use this method to force a shutdown.
• Use a virtual power button selection through iLO 5.
This method initiates a controlled remote shutdown of applications and the OS before the server enters
standby mode.
Before proceeding, verify that the server is in standby mode by observing that the system power LED is
amber.
Remove the server from the rack
WARNING:
This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is
not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are
required for all rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server if the
server is installed higher than chest level.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when
not fastened to the rails.
Prerequisites
Before you perform this procedure, make sure that you have T-15 Torx screwdriver available.
Procedure
1. Power down the server on page 20.
2. Fully extend the server out of the rack.
