Installing a Hard Drive

CAUTION:

Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with

the SAS/SATA backplane.

CAUTION:

When installing a hard drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully

installed. Inserting a hard-drive carrier and attempting to lock its handle next to a
partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring
and make it unusable.

CAUTION:

Ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive

installation. See the documentation supplied with your operating system.

CAUTION:

Combining SATA and SAS hard drives in the same system

configuration is not supported.

1 If installed, remove the front bezel. See "Removing the Front Bezel" on

page 87.

2 If a drive blank is present in the bay, remove it. See "Removing a Hard-

Drive Blank" on page 108.

3 Press the button on the front of the drive carrier and open the handle.
4 Insert the hard-drive carrier into the drive bay until the carrier contacts

the backplane.
