Installing System Components

The removal procedures for the 2.5-inch hard-drive and the 3.5-inch hard-

drive in the sled cover are similar. Following is an example showing the

replacement procedure of a 2.5-inch hard-drive.

1 Remove the sled from the enclosure. See "Removing a Sled" on page 155.
2 Press down on the release latches to release the drive-bay cover and rotate

the cover up, and then slide it out of the sled. See Figure 3-16.

CAUTION:

The sled must be operated with the drive-bay cover installed to ensure

proper cooling.

CAUTION:

Never install your sled into the PowerEdge C8000 server enclosure

with the drive-bay cover removed. The metal strips inside the server enclosure
may get caught in the sled cover.
