Server System SR2612UR Drive Carrier Assembly
Each drive carrier has three LEDs, which indicate status as described in “Monitoring the
Disk Drives” .
To maintain proper airflow and cooling inside the appliance, all drive slots must have
either a disk drive carrier assembly populated with an actual disk or a special plastic drive
blank installed. Under no circumstances should the appliance be operated with empty
drive slots or with empty drive carrier assemblies as this could cause damage to the LEDs
on the midplane and/or create thermal problems (as well as void the Limited Warranty).
Disk drives are hot-swappable.

Warning: Disk drives spin at high speed.When removing a Disk Drive Carrier from an enclosure
with power on, unlatch the carrier and allow the drive to completely spin down for
approximately 15-20 seconds before sliding the carrier out of the enclosure. Removing the
Disk Drive Carrier assembly while the drive is spinning could cause injury and may cause
severe damage to the disk drive.
