Hard Drive Installation
The SC119 chassis accepts eight 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 Hard Drive Carrier from the Chassis
1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier
handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.
Figure 6-5. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must
remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.
Use caution when working around the hard drive backplane. Do not touch the back-
plane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane
or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
