Installing/Removing Hard Drives

The hard drives are installed directly to the sled, which must fi rst be removed from
the system. For this reason, hard drives are not hot-swappable. Either two 3.5" or
four 2.5" hard drives can be installed in each sled (node). An optional kit is required
to install the 2.5" drives.
Installing/Removing Hard Drives from the Sled
1. Remove the node to have HDDs installed or removed by following the proce-
dure in the previous section.
2. Place the sled on a fl at, non-conductive surface.
3. Insert the hard drive with the printed circuit board side facing downward so
that the mounting holes in the drive align with those in the bottom of the sled.
4. Secure the hard drive to the sled with the screws included with the drive.
5. When fi nished installing or removing drives, push the node/sled back into the
bay it was removed from.
6. Use the node's power button to power it back on.
