Use caution when working around the Serial ATA backplane. Do
not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which
aid in proper airfl ow.

Figure 6-4. Removing/Installing Serial ATA Drives
2. Installing/removing hot-swap Serial ATA drives
Two Serial ATA drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them easily
accessible for installation and removal. These drives are hot-swappable, meaning
they can be installed and removed without powering down the system. To remove,
fi rst push the release button located beside the drive LEDs, then swing the colored
handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-4).
!
Important: Regardless of how many Serial ATA drives are in-
stalled, both drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to
maintain proper airfl ow.
