Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. To add a new drive, install it into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing
down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with the screws provided, then push the carrier
completely into the drive bay. You should hear a click when the drive is fully inserted.
This indicates that the carrier has been fully seated and connected to the midplane,
which automatically makes the power and logic connections to the hard drive.
