Installing a Hard-Drive Carrier

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

CAUTION: Ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.

1If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 75.

2If a drive blank is present in the bay, remove it. See "Removing a Hard- Drive Blank" on page 78.

3Press the release button on the front of the hard-drive carrier and open the handle.

4Insert the hard-drive carrier into the drive bay until the carrier contacts the backplane.

5Close the hard-drive carrier handle to lock the drive in place.
