Removing the Hot-Swap Tray
We have designed the Hot-Swap System to be as simple as possible
when installing a hard drive mechanism. The tray is easily removed from the
frame by pulling on the handle. Removing the tray allows you to swap
drives in and out, quickly and easily.

When removing the tray
with a drive running,
gently pull out the tray
about 1” and then pause
for about 10 seconds
allowing the drive mech-
anism to stop spinning.
Then continue to remove
the drive.
The Aluminum Tray is easily
removed with little pressure.
The tray is made of
aluminum. Aluminum offers
great heat dissipating properties,
protects the drive circuitry, and
isolates the drive from damaging
static. The four elongated holes
in the sides are used to attach
the drive mechanism to the tray.
Four special flat headed screws
are included with each tray.
Use only these screws to
attach the drive mechanism
to the tray. SATA drives do not
need to be jumpered so installation
is very simple.
No jumper changes are necessary. When installing the drive make sure
the connectors are facing the rear of the tray.
