CAUTION:
• Follow industry-standard practices when handling hard drives. Internal storage media can be

• When installing a hard drive, make sure the drive is fully seated in the drive bay.
• When removing a hard drive, press the release button and pull the drive only slightly out of the
enclosure. Then, to allow time for the internal disk to stop rotating, wait approximately 10 seconds
before completely removing the drive from the enclosure.
NOTE:
HP recommends installing hard drives in bay-number sequence. Locate this and additional installation
information in the documentation shipped with the storage enclosure.
