5. Use the open handle to replace the drive carrier into the chassis. Make sure
to close the drive carrier handle.
Note that if a node is pulled out of the chassis, the hard drives associated with
that node will power down as well. The hard drives are hot-swappable and may be
removed from the node without removing the node from the chassis or powering
down the system.
Caution: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in
Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs,
