6-6 Installing Hard Drives in the Chassis

Chassis hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and

removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the

drive bays.

Installing Hard Drives

Unlock and open the chassis cover.

Press the release button to extend the drive tray handle (see Figure 6-14).

Using the handle, pull the drive tray out by the handle. The drive is hot

swappable; there are no cables to disconnect.

Remove the screws holding the drive tray to the dummy drive.
