Removing and installing a hard drive

The computer supports up to two easy-swap hard disk drives. Each hard disk is
mounted in a carrier that holds a standard 3.5-inch Serial ATA hard drive and
connects to a SATA interface on the disk cage backplane.

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

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

To remove a hard drive:

1

Observe the ESD precautions described on page 22.

2

Open the drive bay door.

3

Press the HDD carrier latch, then pull the lever and slide the carrier from the
chassis.

4

Place the HDD carrier on a clean surface.
