6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives.
Proceed to the next section for instructions.
DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the system by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed
to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
Note:
Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the 1028R-MCT/MCTR.
Hard Drive Installation
The SAS/SATA hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for
the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier (Figure 6-3)
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connec-
tor end toward the rear of the carrier.
Figure 6-2. Replacing a System Fan
(shown with optional fan housings)
2. Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes of both line up. Note that
there are holes in the carrier marked “SATA” to aid in correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws as illustrated below.
4. Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the
hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right
side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will
retract.
5. Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position
Warning:
Except for short periods of time (swapping hard drives), do not operate the
server with the hard drives empty.

Removing a Hard Drive (Figure 6-4)
1. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs.
2. Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out.
Note:
Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the hard drives.
