Installing and removing a hard disc
drive
Up to five hot-swaps SCSI drives can be installed into your chassis. The
number of drives and the drive type allowed depend on the Altos R710
Server system and the add-in components that you are installing.
Removing a hard disc
1 Press in on the green latch at the front of the hard drive carrier.
2 Pull out on the black lever to slide the carrier from the chassis.
3 Remove the four screws that attach the hard drive to the drive
carrier. Lift the drive from the carrier. Store the drive in an anti-
static bag.
4 (optional) Place the plastic retention device into the drive carrier,
using the four screws you removed from the hard drive.
5 Insert the screws that held the drive in the carrier into the screw
locations on the carrier for future use.
6 With the black lever in the fully open position, slide the drive
carrier back into the chassis. The green latch must be to the right.
Do not push on the black lever until the lever begins to close by
itself.
7 When the black lever begins to close by itself, push on it to lock
the drive carrier into place.
