Figure 6-7. Removing a Dummy Drive from the Drive Carrier
The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow through
the drive bays.
Removing the Dummy Drive from the Drive Carrier
1. Remove the hard drive carrier from the chassis as described in the previous
section and lay the drive carrier on a flat surface.
2. Remove the two screws securing the dummy drive to the drive carrier.
3. Lift the dummy drive from the drive carrier.
Caution: Except for short periods of time (swapping hard drives), do not operate
the server with the hard drive carriers removed from the bays, regardless of how
many hard drives are installed, for proper airflow.
