A-Class Server Installation

Installing Internal Add-On Components

Step 5. Install the first embedded disk drive in the lower slot and the second embedded disk 

in the upper slot of the disk carrier. Orient the disk drive and the carrier such that the 
power and data connectors on the disk drive are on the same side as the sheetmetal 
tabs. Slide the disk drive into the carrier and secure the disk drive to the disk carrier 
with the four slotted T15 TORX screws that came with the disk drive.

Step 6. Attach power and data cables to the embedded disk drives.

Step 7. Install the disk carrier by inserting the two sheetmetal tabs on the disk carrier into 

the cut-outs in the server chassis. Secure the disk carrier using the slotted T15 
TORX screw removed in step 1.
