Supero SUPERSERVER 6028TR-DTR User Manual page 91

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the
drive bays.
Caution! Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro
website at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/files/storage/SAS-CompList.pdf

1. Remove the screws which secure the dummy drive into the carrier.
2. Remove the drive from the tray.
3. Install a new drive into the tray with the printed circuit board side facing down

6. Close the drive carrier handle to lock the hard drive carrier into the chassis
