Installing a Hard Drive

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.

CAUTION: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with the SAS backplane.

CAUTION: When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring and make it unusable.

1If applicable, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 27.

2If applicable, remove the drive blank from the bay. See "Removing a Drive Blank" on page 29.
