Installing a hot-swap SATA/SAS HDD

Follow the instructions in this section to install a hot-swap SATA (PA4 model) or

SAS (PX4 model) hard disk drive (HDD).

1. Open the front bezel to access the hot-swap drive trays.
2. Release a drive tray by pushing the

spring lock to the right, then pulling

the tray lever outward. The drive

tray ejects slightly after you pull out

the lever.

3. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull

the drive tray out of the bay.

4. An empty drive tray requires a metal bracket for support. Use a Phillips

(cross) screwdriver to remove the bracket when you are ready to install a

hard disk in the drive tray.
