3.4 Chassis Components
Front Bezel
If your system has an optional bezel attached to the front of the chassis, you will need to
remove it to gain access to the drive bays.
1. Unlock the front of the chassis and then press the release knob.
2.
Carefully remove the bezel with both hands. A filter located within the bezel can be
removed for replacement/cleaning.
It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log to list filter cleaning/replacement dates,
since its condition affects the airflow throughout the whole system.
Hard Drives
Your server may or may not have come with hard drives installed. Up to six 2.5" hard drives
are supported by the chassis.
Hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the
chassis. (Both procedures may be done without removing power from the system.)
Removing a Hot-Swap Drive Carrier
1. Push the release button on the carrier.
2. Swing the handle fully out.
3. Grasp the handle and use it to pull the drive carrier out of its bay.
Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. To add a new drive, install it into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing
down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with the screws provided, then push the carrier
completely into the drive bay. You should hear a *click* when the drive is fully inserted.
This indicates that the carrier has been fully seated and connected to the midplane,
which automatically makes the power and logic connections to the hard drive.
