2.6 Installing Hard Drives

The expansion chassis supports hot-swapping allowing you to install or replace a hard drive while the subsystem is running.

Each Drive Carrier has a locking mechanism. When the Lock Groove is horizontal, this indicates that the Drive Carrier is locked. When the Lock Groove is vertical, the Drive Carrier is unlocked. Lock and unlock the Drive Carriers by using a flat- head screw driver. The Lock Grooves are located on the carrier open button.
