Installing a Hard-Drive Carrier
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized is not covered by
warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
CAUTION:
To maintain proper system cooling, all empty hard-drive slots must
have hard-drive blanks installed.
1 With the lever on the hard-drive carrier open, slide the hard-drive carrier
into the drive bay until the hard-drive carrier makes contact with the
backplane. See Figure 3-14.
2 Close the release handle to lock the hard-drive in place.
3 Turn the lock lever clockwise to the lock symbol. See Figure 3-14.
The hard-drive status indicator displays a steady green light if the drive is
installed correctly. The drive carrier’s green indicator flashes as the drive
rebuilds.
