Installing and removing a hard disc drive

Up to five hot-swaps SCSI drives can be installed into your chassis. The number of drives and the drive type allowed depend on the Altos R710 Server system and the add-in components that you are installing.

Removing a hard disc

2Pull out on the black lever to slide the carrier from the chassis.

3Remove the four screws that attach the hard drive to the drive carrier. Lift the drive from the carrier. Store the drive in an anti- static bag.
