Chapter 4 Installing Hardware Options

Working with Hard Disk Drives

Note If your device has only one hard disk drive, install it in the left drive bay.

Caution To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the device for more than 10 minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.

To install a simple-swap SATA hard disk drive in a bay, follow these steps:

Step 1 Inspect the new drive for any signs of damage.

Step 2 Review the information in the “Safety Warnings” section on page 2-1, and the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.

Step 3 Power down the device and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and all external cables.

Step 4 Press the release tabs on the bezel and pull the bezel away from the chassis. (See Figure 4-2.)

Step 5 Install the hard disk drive in the bay:

a.Align the drive assembly (see Figure 4-7) with the guide rails in the bay.

b.Gently push the drive assembly into the drive bay until the drive connects to the backplane.

c.Check the hard disk drive status LED to verify that the hard disk drive is operating properly.

If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
