Fitting Drives

2.6. 

Warning:

 Operation of the enclosure with ANY drive carrier 

modules missing will disrupt the airflow and the drives will not 
receive sufficient cooling. It is essential that all apertures are 
filled before operating the unit. Dummy drive carrier modules 
are available for fitting to unused drive bays.

Release the carrier handle by pressing the latch in 

1. 

the handle towards the right and insert the carrier 
into the enclosure.

iMPortant:

 Ensure that the carrier is orientated so that the 

drive is uppermost and the handle opens from the left 

(See 

Figure 5).

Slide the carrier, gently, all the way into the enclosure.

2. 

Cam the carrier home - the camming foot on the 

3. 

base of the carrier will engage into the slot in the 
enclosure.

When the carrier is fully home, close the handle - a 

4. 

click should be heard as the latch engages.

iMPortant:

 Ensure that all drive carriers are fully engaged in 

the enclosure by firmly pushing each one home fully into the slot 

(See Figure 6).
