Figure 3-14. Removing a Drive Carrier
3.4 Chassis Components
Hard Drives
The 1029U-TN12RV supports 12 hot-swappable 2.5" hard drives. The hard drives are
mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. System
power may remain on when removing carriers with drives installed. 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..
Removing a Hot-Swap Drive Carrier
1. Push the release button on the carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.
2. Swing the handle fully out.
3. Grasp the handle and use it to pull the drive carrier out of its bay.

Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end
toward the rear of the carrier. Place the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes line
up.
2. The drive carrier has a tool-less design but you also have the option to secure the drive
to the carrier with four M3 screws. These screws are included in the chassis accessory
box.
3. Insert the drive carrier with the disk drive 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.
4. Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position
