30 Replacing and Adding Internal Devices
4 Install the new drive in the carrier using the four screws you removed
in Step 3.
5 Align the drive rails with the slots at the sides of the drive bay. Leave
the retention lever in the open position.
6 Push the drive all of the way into the drive bay until the retention lever
starts to close because of contact with the front of the chassis. Make sure
the hooks on the side of the retention lever latch on the side of the drive
bay and firmly close the lever.
7 Run any necessary utilities to setup the new drive. See the utility software
documentation for details.
