Storage System Features

Drive Carrier

Drive carriers are provided for fitting in all unused drive bays. They are designed as
integral drive carrier front caps with handles and must be fitted to all unused drive bays to
maintain a balanced airflow. The removable air baffle labels in empty drive carriers must
be removed upon installation of a hard drive.
The drive carrier comprises a hard disk mounted in a carrier. Each drive bay will house a
single low-profile 1.0-in high, 3.5-in form factor SATA disk drive in its drive carrier. The
drive carrier has mounting locations for SATA drives.
Each disk drive is enclosed in a sheet steel carrier, which provides excellent thermal
conduction, radio frequency and electro-magnetic induction protection and affords the
drive maximum physical protection. A TORX* screw secures the drive carrier to the drive
bay to prevent accidental removal.
The front cap also supports an ergonomic handle, which provides the following functions:
•
Spring loading of drive carrier into and out of drive bays
•
Positive "spring loading" of the drive/backplane connector.

Drive LED Indicators

Each drive carrier incorporates a green Drive Status LED and an amber Drive Fault LED.
