Installing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive
CAUTION: Use only hard drives that have been tested and approved for use with
the SAS 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: To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system
supports hot-swap drive installation. See the documentation supplied
with the operating system.
