Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

2. Installing/removing hot-swap Serial ATA drives

Two Serial ATA drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them easily accessible for installation and removal. These drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be installed and removed without powering down the system. To remove,

first push the release button located beside the drive LEDs, then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-4).

Important: Regardless of how many Serial ATA drives are installed, both drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
