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.

If a drive blank is installed,
remove drive blank from the drive carrier
2
Place the drive carrier on the mid drive tray.
3
Lower the drive carrier handle to engage the drive to the connector on the backplane and lock the drive in place.
