Drive Carrier Extraction, Installation, and Assembly
The 1U server product family has front drive bay chassis options that support 2.5” form factor drives (Hard
Disk Drives or Solid State Drives) or 3.5” form factor hard disk drives with the option to support 2.5” SSDs.
This section provides instruction for drive extraction from the chassis, drive installation into the chassis, and
drive assembly.
Note:
To maintain proper system cooling, all externally accessible drive bays must be populated with a drive
carrier. Each drive carrier must have installed a hard disk drive (HDD), Solid State Device (SSD), or a supplied
drive blank.
