Installing a drive carrier module

Caution

All drive bays must have drive carrier modules or dummy carrier modules installed to maintain a balanced airflow.

Dummy carrier modules are provided for fitting in all unused drive bays. They are designed as integral drive module front caps and must be installed in all unused drive bays to maintain a balanced airflow. If you plan to remove a drive for more than a few minutes, we recommend that you temporarily install a dummy carrier module in its place.

Drive carrier configuration

Before you install the drive carrier modules in your E-842R enclosure, see “Planning your installation” on page 16 for system configuration information.

Installation procedure

Important

Make sure that the carrier is orientated so that the drive is uppermost and the handle opens from the left.

To install a drive carrier module:

1Release the carrier handle by pressing the latch in the handle towards the right, then insert the carrier into the enclosure.

If the anti-tamper locks have been activated, see “Activating the anti-tamper locks” on page 27.

2Gently slide the carrier all the way into the enclosure until it is stopped by the lever on the right of the carrier.

Caution

Make sure that the carriers are fully engaged in the enclosure.
