Installing a Hot-Plug Hard Drive

NOTICE: 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.

NOTICE: Not all operating systems support hot-plug drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.
