Mounting a Hard Drive into a Carrier
The server system supports two hot-swap drive carriers in the peripheral bay. Each carrier houses a
standard one-inch high SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive.
CAUTION
To allow proper airflow and server cooling, all drive bays must contain either
a carrier with a hard drive installed or a carrier with an air baffle installed.
To mount a hard drive in a carrier:
1. Remove the hard drive from the protective wrapper and place it on a clean ESD-protected work
surface.
2. Record the model and serial number of the drive in your equipment log
3. Set any jumpers and/or switches on the drive according to the drive manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. If the drive carrier is installed in the drive bay, remove it and place it on a clean static-free work
surface. See Removing a Hard Drive for instructions.
5. If you are installing a hard drive into a carrier that did not previously have a drive installed into
it, remove the air baffle. The air baffle is removed by removing the four mounting screws from
the drive rails. See Figure 55.
6. Store the air baffle for future reinstallation in the event you operate your server without a drive
in one of the bays.
