Removing and installing a hard disk
drive

The computer may include an optional easy-swap hard disk drive. One standard
3.5-inch Serial ATA hard drive may be mounted in a carrier that connects to a SATA
interface on the disk cage backplane.

Note: In certain configurations the carrier already contains a hard disk drive.

Easy-swap technology shortens system downtime for changing the hard disk or
performing an upgrade.

Warning: Do not attach or detach the hard drive while the system is on. It
may cause damage to the device or lose data.

Removing the hard disk drive carrier
