Installing a Hard Drive

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.

CAUTION: Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system configuration is not supported.

1If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on page 87.

2If a drive blank is present in the bay, remove it. See "Removing a Hard- Drive Blank" on page 108.
