HPE Comprehensive Defective Material Retention (CDMR) allows you to keep all data retentive components. Before the actual replacement occurs, you must inform the authorized HPE support agent of your intention to keep the disk drive/data retentive component. You must also copy the information found on the label of the malfunctioning disk drive/component and provide it to Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The malfunctioning part will then be replaced.
