array management documentation.

NOTICE:
To ensure proper airflow for system cooling, each slot should contain either an active drive and drive carrier
or a carrier blank.
NOTICE:
Always wear a wrist grounding strap when handling equipment with static-sensitive components.
1. If applicable, configure your drive carrier for SCSI drive installation by setting the access pins inside the slide rail along
the right side of the drive carrier (or bottom side for rackmount systems). When in place, the access pins prevent the
carrier from being inserted into a non- SCSI hard-drive slot. If your drive carrier did not include access pins, skip to
. Otherwise, perform the following steps to set the access pins:
a. Using a standard screwdriver, detach the slide rail on the right (or hinge) side of the carrier from the metal
carrier shield by bending away the metal tab located beneath the rail that fastens the rail to the shield (see
).
