Removing and installing hot-swap disk drives
Important: Do not leave any drive slots without a drive or air baffle installed in the carrier. An empty carrier installed in a drive slot reduces cooling efficiency and can affect performance or cause damage due to overheating.

2Pull the handle out to disengage the carrier handle latch from the locking slot at the top of the drive bay.
