4. Taking care not to apply any mechanical shock to it, install the new disk
drive in the open slot.
a. Fit the disk drive in the guide rail of the chassis and slide it in the
direction shown by the arrow on the disk drive frame.
b. Push the disk drive in until it reaches the position where the tab on the
bottom of the lock lever on of the handle can be entered into the
rectangular hole at the lower part of a frame on the front side of the
unit.
5. Push the lock lever inward until the lock tab clicks.
6. Verify that the drive begins to run (spin up) as soon as it is fully inserted
into the slot and is connected electrically to the unit.
If the drive is a replacement for a failed drive, as soon as the
replacement drive is operational, the system will begin copying data to
it. It takes approximately 1-1/2 minutes to copy the data to the new
drive.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for each disk drive that you are installing or
replacing.
8. When you have installed all the new or replacement drives, replace the
front bezel.

NOTE: If the lock lever is closed or nearly closed when you slide the disk
into the slot, the tab on the bottom will catch on the front of the unit and
cannot be inserted into the slot in the chassis. Be sure the lock lover is open
far enough when you slide the disk in so that the tab can be inserted in the
slot.
