Accessing the Drive Bays

Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives. Proceed to the next section for instructions.

Peripheral Drives: The SC818GTQ chassis includes space for a variety of peripheral drive options, including a 2.5" hard disk drive, DVD-ROM or floppy drive. For a complete listing of peripheral drive options, visit the Supermicro web site at:

Hard Drive Installation

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis

1.Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.

2.Use the handle to pull the drive carrier out of the chassis.
