Replacing a Hard-Drive Carrier
Two versions of hard-drive carriers are used with your system. The version for SATA hard drives has a single set of (four) mounting holes on the side rails. The
second version, called a SAS/SATAu hard-drive carrier, has an extra four mounting holes to enable either a "SAS" and "SATAu" mounting position. When using
the SAS/SATAu hard-drive carrier, observe these rules with regard to your system:
l Use only SAS hard drives with SAS/SATAu drive carriers.
l Use only the "SAS" mounting position on the carrier. (The SATAu position is reserved.)
Figure 3 -6 illustrates a SAS hard drive being installed in a SAS/SATAu hard-drive carrier.
Removing a Hard Drive From a Hard-Drive Carrier
Remove the four screws from the slide rails on the hard-drive carrier and separate the hard drive from the carrier.
Installing a Hard Drive Into a Drive Carrier
1. Insert the hard drive into the hard-drive carrier with the connector end of the drive at the rear. See Figure 3 -6 .
2. Viewing the assembly as shown in Figure 3 -6 , align the screw holes on the hard drive with the rear set of holes on the hard drive carrier.
When aligned correctly, the rear of the hard drive will be flush with the rear of the hard-drive carrier.
3. Attach the four screws to secure the hard drive to the hard-drive carrier. See Figure 3 -6 .
