Removing and Installing Drives

Your enclosure supports up to 15 SAS or SATA 3.0-Gbps drives, each one contained in its individual drive
carrier. Each drive is hot-pluggable, allowing you to remove and insert drives without shutting down your
enclosure.
This section describes how to remove and install drives in your storage enclosure.
CAUTION:
Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the enclosure cover and access any of the
components inside the enclosure. Before performing any procedure, see your Product Information Guide for
complete information about safety precautions, working inside the enclosure and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE:
Extra care must be taken when handling and storing the drives. The carriers provide some protection, but
the drives and carrier connectors can be damaged by rough handling. When removing the drives from the
enclosure, place them on a padded surface. Never drop the drives.
