Install a hard drive
You can install a hard drive in a node as part of a new node installation or to replace a failed hard drive.
1. With the locking handle open, insert an install drive into an empty drive bay by sliding the drive along the bay rails
until it stops.
Caution: Do not force the drive into the drive bay. Forcing the drive into the drive bay could result in irreparable
damage to both the drive and the drive bay.
