Installing/Removing a SATA Drive

To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs.

Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see

Figure 6-5).

Note:

Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-

pability of the SATA drives.
