Installing a hard drive/SSD

Prerequisites

CAUTION: When a replacement hot-swappable hard drive/SSD is installed and the blade is powered on, the hard drive/SSD automatically begins to rebuild. Make absolutely sure that the replacement hard drive/SSD is blank or contains data that you wish to have over-written. Any data on the replacement hard drive/SSD is immediately lost after the hard drive/SSD is installed.

NOTE: You must remove a hard drive/SSD to upgrade a hard drive/SSD or replace a faulty hard drive/SSD.

1.Ensure that you read the Safety instructions.

2.Remove the hard drive/SSD or hard-drive/SSD blank.

NOTE: All operating systems do not support hot-swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.

Steps

1.Press the release button to open the hard-drive/SSD carrier handle.

2.Slide the hard-drive/SSD carrier into the drive bay. Carefully align the channel on the hard-drive/SSD carrier with the appropriate drive slot on the blade.

3.Push the drive carrier into the slot until the handle makes contact with the blade.

4.Rotate the carrier handle to the closed position while pushing the carrier into the slot until it locks into place.

The status LED indicator displays a steady green light if the drive is installed correctly. The drive carrier LED green indicator flashes as the drive rebuilds.
