Installing a hot-swap drive

If you are adding a drive to an empty drive slot, you must first remove the air baffles from the drive carrier. If you are replacing an existing drive, remove the old drive as described in “Removing a hot-swap drive” on page 36.

To install a hot-swap drive:

1Follow the static electricity precautions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 25.

2Remove the drive carrier as described in “Removing a hot-swap drive” on page 36.

3Remove the four screws that secure the air baffles to the drive carrier. If you are removing an existing drive, the same four screws secure the old drive to the carrier.
