Hard Drive Installation
The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper air
fl ow for
the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. Insert a drive 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 six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.

Warning:
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive car-
riers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper air fl ow.
Note:
Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis
and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web site
