1.3.4 Drive Carrier Module
The Drive Carrier Module comprises a hard disk mounted in a carrier. Each drive bay will house a single
Low Profile 1.0 inch high, 3.5 inch form factor disk drive in its carrier.The carrier has mounting locations
for FC-AL drives.
Each disk drive is enclosed in a die-cast aluminum carrier which provides excellent thermal conduction,
radio frequency and electro-magnetic induction protection and affords the drive maximum physical
protection.
The front cap also supports an ergonomic handle which provides the following functions:
• Camming of carrier into and out of drive bays.
• Positive 'spring loading' of the drive/backplane connector.
• An anti-tamper lock operated by a torx socket type key.
Two versions of the drive carrier (
Figure 1–12
) are offered, for installation in RS-1600 or RS-1602
chassis. They are not interchangeable as the RS-1602 drive carrier is longer (approximately 44mm) than
that for the RS-1600 chassis.

Drive Status Indicators
Each drive carrier incorporates two indicators, an upper (Green) and lower (Amber). In normal operation
the green indicator will be ON and will flicker as the drive operates.
1.3.4.2
Anti-tamper Locks
Anti-tamper locks are fitted in the drive carrier handles (
Figure 1–13
) and are accessed through the small
cutout in the latch section of the handle.These are provided to disable the normal ‘pinch' latch action of
the carrier handle.
