Drive Carrier Modules and "Dummy" Modules

The disk drive carrier module consists of a hard disk drive mounted in a die-cast
aluminum carrier (see Figure 11-2). The carrier protects the disk drive from radio
frequency interference, electromagnetic induction, and physical damage. It also provides
a means for thermal conduction.
Dummy drive carrier modules must be installed in all unused drive bays. They are
designed as integral drive module front caps with handles and must be fitted to all
unused drive bays to maintain a balanced airflow. Figure 11-2 shows examples.
