Removing Hard Drives or Carriers from the Chassis
1.
Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.
2.
Use the handle to pull the drive carrier out of the chassis.
Important:
Empty carriers without drives must stay in the chassis during operation for proper
airflow/cooling purposes except during remove/replace operations. Do not operate the server with
carriers removed.
The Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termination. A RAID
controller and/or optional RAID software can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the
hard drives. The backplane is preconfigured, so no jumper/switch configuration is required.
Caution:
Be careful when working around the drive backplane. Do not touch the backplane with
your fingers or any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct
the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
Disk Drive Installation
The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the
chassis, see
Figure 6-1
for a removal example. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for
the drives. For this reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the
chassis during operation. See
Figure 6-2 on page 46
for an example drive carrier and the “dummy”
drive blank used when a working disk is not installed in a drive slot.
