Installing and Removing a Hard Disk Drive
Up to three hard drives of one of the following types can be installed, depending on the hard drive installation
option used in your server chassis and the drives supported by your server board.
1. Three fixed SATA drives or three fixed SCSI drives if the fixed drive kit is installed.
2. Three hot-swap SATA drives if the SATA backplane is installed.
3. Three hot-swap SCSI drives if the SCSI backplane is installed.
NOTE: NOTE: The Altos R510 does not support all hard drives. Contact your local Acer dealer for details of
supported hardware.
Installing a Fixed SATA Hard Disk Drive
Use these instructions only if you have installed the fixed drive kit.
CAUTION: Fixed drives are NOT hot swappable. Before removing or replacing the drive, you must first take
the server out of service, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system, turn off the system by
pressing the power button, and unplug the AC power cord from the system or wall outlet.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety Information.”
2. Power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.
3. Remove the front bezel if it is installed. For instructions, see “Removing and Installing the Front Bezel.”
4. Remove the chassis cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Chassis Cover.”
5. Press the latch on the back of the fixed drive carrier and slide it out of the bay. See letter “A” in the figure
below to identify the latch at the rear of the carrier.
6. Remove the four screws that attach the plastic retention device or the previously installed hard drive to the
drive carrier. Two screws are at each side of the retention device or the hard drive. Store the plastic
retention device for future use.
