Intel® Entry Storage System SS4000-E
4.1.1 Hard Disk Drive Carrier
Each hard drive used in the system must be mounted to a drive carrier, making insertion and
extraction of the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive tray has its own dual purpose
latching mechanism that is used to both insert/extract drives from the chassis and lock the
carrier in place. To remove the drive, depress the latch to remove the drive. Each drive carrier
also supports a light pipe providing a drive status indicator, located on the backplane, to be
viewable from the front of the chassis. See Figure 7 for location of LED light pipe on the drive
carrier.
