Installing the Hard Drive(s)
This procedure describes how to install hard drives in the server drive bays. Before proceeding, be sure you are thoroughly familiar with the information in “Before You Begin” at the front of this chapter.
Installing the Hard Drive in the Mounting Bracket
Perform this procedure to install the hard drive in the mounting bracket. Refer to Figure 15 while performing this procedure.
NOTE
This procedure assumes that the mounting bracket has been removed from the drives as described in the previous “Removing the Hard Drives” procedure.
1.Place the drive in the mounting bracket with the component side down and the front of the drive facing the front (tabbed) end (A) of the mounting bracket.
2.Align the four mounting bracket screw holes (B) with the mating holes (two on each side) in the drive housing.
3.Use a Phillips screwdriver and four screws (C) to securely attach the mounting bracket to the drive. Do not overtighten the screws because the bracket sides can bend inward which affects the alignment of the tabs with the slots in the front panel.
