Installing an SSD carrier
Prerequisites
CAUTION:
When a replacement hot swappable SSD is installed and the sled is powered on, the SSD automatically begins to
rebuild. Make absolutely sure that the replacement SSD is blank or contains data that you wish to have over-written. Any data
on the replacement SSD is immediately lost after the SSD is installed.
NOTE:
You must remove an SSD to upgrade an SSD or replace a faulty SSD.
1
Follow the safety guidelines listed in the Safety instructions section.
2
Remove the SSD blank.
3
Install the SSD in the SSD carrier.
NOTE:
All operating systems do not support hot swappable drive installation. See the documentation supplied with your
operating system.
Steps
1
Press the release button to open the SSD carrier handle.
2
Slide the SSD carrier into the drive bay and push it until the handle makes contact with the sled.
3
Rotate the carrier handle to the closed position while pushing the carrier into the slot until it locks into place.
The status LED indicator displays a steady green light if the drive is installed correctly. The drive carrier LED green indicator flashes as
the drive rebuilds.
