disk drive bays. To install a SCSI hard-disk drive, perform the following steps.

1. If the system does not have a redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) con-
troller installed, shut down the system.
2. If the optional plastic bezel is installed, remove it.
3. If you have not already done so, unlock and open the computer covers and
remove the hard-disk drive lock from the hard-disk drive bay you will install the
new drive in (see Figure 10-2).
4. For systems with RAID controllers, power down the hard-disk drive bay. If a hard-
disk drive is currently installed in the bay, wait until all three SCSI hard-disk drive
indicators on the hard-disk drive carrier handle are turned off before proceeding.
5. Open the drive carrier handle and slide the carrier toward you until it is free of the
drive bay (see Figure 10-3).
