SUPERSERVER 2027TR-D70RF+ USER'S MANUAL
Hard drives are mounted in the drive carrier to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the drive bays.
Caution: Except for short periods of time while swapping hard drives, do not
operate the server without hard drives in the hard drive bays.
Installing a Drive into the Hard Drive Carrier
1. Remove the four screws securing the dummy drive to the carrier (Figure
6-19).
2. Lift the drive up and out of the carrier.
Figure 6-19: Removing Dummy Drive from Carrier
3. Install a new drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing
down so that the mounting holes in the drive align with those in the carrier
(Figure 6-20).
4. Secure the hard drive into the carrier with six screws.
5. Use the open handle to replace the drive carrier into the chassis.
6. Gently close the drive carrier handle to secure the drive and carrier into the
chassis drive bay.
Caution! Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in
Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs,
