Installing a Hard-Drive Carrier
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.
1 If installed, remove the front bezel . See "Removing the Front Bezel" on
page 83.
2 If a drive blank is present in the bay, remove it. See "Removing a Hard-
Drive Blank" on page 86.
3 Press the button on the front of the hard-drive carrier and open the handle.
4 Insert the hard-drive carrier into the drive bay until the carrier contacts the
backplane.
5 Close the hard-drive carrier handle to lock the drive in place.
