Installing drive carrier into mid drive tray
Prerequisites
Follow the safety guidelines listed in
CAUTION:
Use only drives that have been tested and approved for use with the drive backplane.
CAUTION:
When installing a drive, ensure that the adjacent drives are fully installed. Inserting a drive carrier and
attempting to lock its handle next to a partially installed carrier can damage the partially installed carrier's shield spring
and make it unusable.
CAUTION:
To prevent data loss, ensure that your operating system supports hot-swap drive installation. See the
documentation supplied with your operating system.
CAUTION:
Mixing drive carriers from previous generations of PowerEdge servers is not supported.
CAUTION:
When a replacement hot swappable drive is installed and the system is powered on, the drive automatically
begins to rebuild. Ensure that the replacement drive is blank or contains data that you wish to overwrite. Any data on
the replacement drive is immediately lost after the drive is installed.
Steps
1. Lift the carrier handle.
2. If a drive blank is installed in the drive slot, remove it.
3. Insert the drive carrier into the drive tray.
4. Lower the drive carrier handle to engage the drive to the connector on the backplane and lock the drive in place.
